Hey Sledder, what is the deal with the remarks about Polaris. I did not see anyone say anything about Polaris besides you, and I do recall this being the Honda Forum. Right? Lets keep on the topic, alright?

Truthfully, they haven't made near as big of a deal out of the rubicon as they did the 400ex when it was released. That is all you heard back then. The number of topics on the Rubicon are miniscule compared to the number of 400ex topics there were.

Thanks for setting me straight lurch77. I know Atving would never refer to a polaris in a Honda forum.Besides when the question of quality comes up I just can't help but think of Polaris.

No honda is saying you need to learn how to ride so you don't hit fences.

Did I read in a magazine recently that the Rubicon would have the ability to shift from 2WD to 4WD?

I would have to agree with you AIR,but what I don't understand is why honda would put an electric type shift on rubicon. Why not just have an auto.tranny isn't that having one to many gadgets..
