Default It funny to listen

Had an interesting conversation with a multi line dealer a couple hours from me recently, he carries Can Am, Kawasaki, and Polaris.
I asked him what brand was selling best and he was quite candid in saying that Can Am had out sold Polaris and Kawasaki quite handily for a couple years after taking them on, until all the problems started croping up and killed their repete sales...Polaris is now their biggest seller due to depenability.
The interesting point of the conversation came when he admitted wishing he could sell more Can Am's since the sales margin was so much better then Polaris!

I still have to admire Can Am's guttsy call on the SPYDER! Have seen a couple flying around,pretty sharp! We also have a 3-wheeler but its a PIAGGO scooter based from VESPA!

The dealer i purchased from, sold Kawasaki, Yamaha,and Polaris,Suzuki,Eton for there ATV lines.

I walked in and ask to see the Polaris's, and the sales guy never mentioned the other brand for the 5 hours we where there.

I knew what i wanted, and he never tried to steer me differently.

Same here. My dealer sells Can-Am and Polaris, it is a family owned business and they all ride and race ATVs. They didn't try to steer me to the Can-Am's. They did hint that Polaris' dealer plan was less attractive to the dealer and that Polaris like for it's dealers to only sell Polaris machines. Guess which brand they ride and race....Polaris of course.
