Default Will Polaris answer BRP's new Sport 4x4??

[i]

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.

Polaris thought the same thing on the two up atv's in 2003 and now they finally have one. After all how would want a two up? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] polaris will come up with something but it will be two or 3 years down the road.
There is a market for the renegade for sure but at the cost of 9300 it will be a small market and if brp offers it in there 500cc and 650 size they will own the market. If polaris wants to capitalize on this growing market of Sports utiltiys like the renegade they need to make one in the 7000 price range where more people would buy it. Like a KTM 525 engine in the outlaw chasis with a 4x4 at around 500lbs or less. If it was a manual they would be the only one in the market with a race quad 4x4. Lets face it the renegade is still based off a utilty frame with sport tires and longer travel shocks. Polaris will be better off to start off with a sport quad and make it into a sport ute than the other way around.
