Default Where are all the 2010s at??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Polaris and Can-Am seem to be the only ones that have unveiled their full 2010 lineups. Arctic Cat has early release 2010 models out, Kawi and Honda just changed the digits from 09 to 10. But nothing from Suzuki or Yamaha.

In past years, hasn't Polaris released they're products in the middle of everyone else, with Yamaha usually showing theirs first? I guess I'm not surprised by Suzuki not having anything up since they usually reveal later, but seems like we know more about the NEW 2010 models by now.

I would be VERY surprised if Kawi didn't do something with their ATV lineup. Even something as simple as a face lift for the Bayou and Prairie 360. Those simply looks like they're from the Jurassic era. Unfortuantely, I don't think they're in luck though since their model pages already say 2010 (Actually only the 360 4x4 says 2010. The 2x4 still says 09 but I'm sure they won't make them look different; could be the 2x4 is being phased out ).

Speaking of Jurassic era styling, props to Polaris for updating the Scrammy, TrailBoss, and TrailBlazer, finally.

Suzuki needs something new too. IMO a 450+ King Quad styling update is in line. It looks decent, but its dated. Hopefully it doesn't look more like the KQ 400, which I think looks excessively cheap, albeit still better than the Eiger.

So I guess it will be interesting. I wonder if we'll even see many new things given the state of the economy. I hope so!

2010 Arctic Cat full line up is shown on their website. A few new models like the 1000 Mud Pro which is cool.

Yeah I saw that! I like the smallest mud pro w/o the racks! That looks pretty sweet. Suzuki has their models listed as 2010s now on their site. Nothing new though.

MAN! Still not much out there!

Cat, Polaris, and Can-Am have full 2010 lineups out. Honda and Kawi have early release models out (I hope they're not full line-ups!). They consist of only new colors pretty much. Oh, well, I suppose the Rancher has "new racks." YAWN

Suzuki had models listed as 2010s for a few days, but then it was taken down.

I hope someone has something exciting coming out!

Honda has said that they are only updating a few models,, the rincon the rancher ( the rancher only has a new rack and a new seat ) and some dirt bikes thats about all. As for the old look on the Prarie 360 i like it, brings me back to when a 4x4 looked nothing like a sport unlike the honda rancher

Im still torn between the 09 and '10 scrambler from polaris.
I think im glad I got the 09, i actually like the way it looks more so then the '10 but of course I have yet to see a '10 model in person so I am hoping it doesnt grow on me and makes me regret not waiting a few months lol

The 2010 ones look substantially better in person. I actually like them in person. They look absolutely horrible in pictures though.

The asian ATV manufacturers have a boat load of 2009 models still in inventory that they need to sell, so they have been holding off on releasing the 2010 models.

Yamaha has decreased production of ATVs by 60%, and Suzuki has decrease production by 73%. Kawi and Honda have made similar reductions. No one is buying ATVs with the crappy economic news we hear on the TV news every night.
