It seems like all Polaris wants to do is make Razors & big sportsmans & forget about
everything else. I bought a scrammy 500 & trailblazer in 2002 I already replaced
the tb with a 2012 450 grizzly EPS & thinking about replacing the scrammy with
a Renni or a outty (polaris refuses to update the scrammy or make a mid size EPS 4X4)
I went elsewhere & will have to again I am sure of that!!! hope I am wrong!!!

On highlifter, guy saying Popo's got a Sportsman 1000 coming and on Canamtalk there's a guy from roseau who says he's seen a Renie-styled Popo running around. Here's the thing, If they come out w/a 1000, I hope that motor is based on the 850, not the 875. The 850 has way more bark w/an aftermarket exhaust due to it's 270 degree piston offset, the 875 has a 180 deg piston offset and it sounds like a weed-whacker. My .02.

I'll say it again this year.... the same as the last two.... I would like to see an 850xp scrambler with eps.... They can call it whatever they want but make sure it's 4wd and not a dialed back 850, it's gotta have all the ***** they've thrown into the sportsmans.... Again, Just my (for the THIRD year in a row)

Polaris should've replaced the Scrambler years ago. I remember when the Predator 1st came out thinking, an update to the Scrambler can't be far behind, nothing, then the outlaw came out w/IRS, and thought, ok, they're gonna update the Scrambler to be IRS and nothing, then the Renie came out and I thought, Polaris has to respond now, but nothing until 2010 model year when they updated the plastic and supposedly it was a new chassis but still had the same strut front suspension and swingarm rear and I'm pretty sure it didn't even get the 500 HO motor anymore, so then I just gave up hoping. Would still love to see it, but not holding my breath anymore.

Scrambler still has the 500. But, it's outdated for sure.

Makes sense since a Renegade is the same machine as the Outlander Utility but with sporty plastics and no racks.

Power is not Polaris goal since most ATV are down on power compared to there Snowmobiles. Polaris had a 750 twin 4stroke in there sleds and PWC that makes much more power then even the 800 to 1000 ATV motors make.

Same Goes with Arctic cat ,there 1000 ATV makes only 80hp while there 1000 Sled makes 125hp and 170hp with turbo asist added on.

I like to see a ATV that can switch from low range to High range while on the fly for 2013.
