If you read their press release, BRP says they feel the Can-Am name is a better fit with their ATV positioning towards enthusiasts looking for more power, better handling, innovation and stunning designs...
I would agree that Can-Am resonates better than Bombardier ATV and to me, it just confirms that BRP will continue developing products in line with the Outlander and Renegade. Maybe a pure Sport 450 quad?

I've been drooling over it since I've seen this post also. Can we ever have enough Power? Unfortunately it probably will be a big seller and you no doubt will see it going for 9 grand for some time till demand drops off. I just paid $5800 OTD for my new ride and it seems to have more than enough power for me for the riding I do. It's getting the 800 snorkel and a K&N for it's first service. The Renegade would be fun to jump though as long as Can-Am gets the suspension setup right. I heard that the Outlander 800 is too softly sprung in the front, which the same goes for my 700EFI. At this time I just can't justify the 4 grand plus I'd have to cough up for some more power. It would be like donating to the get one foot in the grave sooner fund. Brian

I agree, it’s a step forward and a new model is always welcome but its still basically a stripped down UTE, BRP outlander 800.
I would like to see the scrambler go more towards the pure sport category, refined chassis, lighter 4x4 variety like an Outlaw 4x4.
A Sportsman 800 SS (striped down UTE like the renegade) would be nice....
If they do nothing to the Scrambler chassis at least give us an engine option of a 700 or 800 EFI!

AWESOME !!!! This is what I have been waiting for I like it,
it's still abit heavy but I could deal with it and what a name I used to own a 250 qualifier memories...........
Other manufactors will have to step up . I have pretty much gave up on polaris to update the scrammy but it would be nice if they did or put 4x4 on the outlaw that would be cool , the v-force will have to put on a 4x4 also or why would someone even buy one now.
I am not gonna run right out and buy one but will wait and see if anyone else comes out with something (polaris) and hear some feed back on them also. But my hat goes off to BRP they have came along way in a short time in the atv market. Cudos

I actually like the looks of it. It is the first BRP product that I think looks good. THen again, I love how the Arctic Cats look and most people don't. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Polaris is usually pretty good at having a top model in each entry, as long as the market share is there. Sure, we all WANT a Renagade, but who is actually going to BUY one? If there is no money to be made, there is no point to make one.
