Default Why does Honda leave features off their ATV's?

When other manufacturers release a new quad they typically introduce it with the latest technology and features. Honda has yet to release a quad with differential lock. They also lack low range on two of their utility machines (Rancher AT and Rincon). Why doesn't Honda give us all the features available when they introduce their quads? It seems to me they hold back, they are never the one with the highest displacement or latest features others have.

Honestly, i think they are the smartest ones for doing that. They wait and watch, seeing how the consumers reacts to the product. If it flops, then they come off clean. If it is a success, then they stick it on their next model. Also, with Honda, i have always known them to be the most reliable atvs. Maybe the "most" power or the "fastest" quad, just is not their cup of tea.

Nowadays, there aren't that many missing features on Hondas's top models. It's no big deal. Obviously, Honda feels they are not needed to help sell their ATV's since sales are so good. The minute sales go on a serious slide, they will add all the features.

You must have missed it, there were a few heated threads on this topic last week. You might want to dig them up.

Mainly because Honda speands days here reading the pages of threads dealing with the features and so on and decide purposly not to add them to **** off yourself and the others in this forum.

Seriously, this has been more then beaten/battered/blundered/killed/stepped on/raped/kicked to death. Hopefully the mods will lock....at least dig up the thread from last week or post something usefull like a problem you discovered with your bike and how you fixed it.
