Looks as tho RZR is about to get some competition and then some!!!!
The Can Am Commander UTV - Is the long wait over? - Can-Am Commander SSV SxS Forums -

 

These machines will come in both 800cc and 1000cc with 75hp and 85hp respectively.I think it will only be a matter of time before we see them here in the US!

 

I sure hope it brings the price down.

I just kinda wonder if they intentionally waited just to see what type of lawsuits were being brought against Polaris so they'd have those issues addressed ahead of time.


I'll have to show them to the wife. She wants an RZR, and when she sees these in yellow she may change her mind.

 

BUT it's yellow???????

 

1300lbs and a lot wider than the rzr, but I'm sure on the trails it fits on it will fly.

 

To me, the main selling point of the RZR is the 50" width. It allows you to go on any legal ATV trail. I've never seen a trail with a gate more narrow than 50". It won't sell as well as the RZR if it is wider in the areas where the gates are.

 

True, but the RZR S is more in the market of the Commander. If Popo stands still on this one, they will lose a ton of sales. The RZR sold because of the size but also the fun factor. The price difference in the RZR S and the Commander will be nill. The performance difference will probably be staggering, even with the 800 CanAm.

850 in a regular RZR may give the 800 a run because it is lighter, but Polaris and everyone else is WAY behind CanAm for 2011, IMO.

I also don't like the all yellow. The black and yellow is nice though, along with the red.

 

I agree big time. The RZR S is going to lose sales to the Commander. CanAm always has the best speed per cc. If Polaris puts the 850 in, I also think it would be a pretty close race with the RZR being lighter. I think the Commander will compete mostly with the Rhino, Prowler, and Teryx. The Ranger is more work oriented than any of them towing and capacity wise. Especially the HD Ranger.

 

Could they copy the look of the rzr anymore they look so similar

 

It looks like a mix of RZR and CanAm Renegade. Not bad.
