It is flat out fugly! I don't understand how you design something like that and think it looks good? It definitely does have that cheap Chinese look to it now. Looks like it is time to start saving for a Rene being that Polaris doesn't want to step up to the plate.

I hate the new look of the Scrambler....I loved the one that i had and it was a great all around trail bike. If they wanted to "get a head of the competition", they should have focused on improving the handling and lighten the load a bit!! The bike can really tire you out when tyou ride hard and is the main reason that I switched to the predator years ago....hate the new light, the handle bar mount was indeed iconic!

Liked the old looks better. The new one doesn't look too good. I would have thought that they would have at least put dual a-arm on the front and maybe fuel injection. I'll have to look at it when they come into the dealer.

I can say when i first saw it i did think, man that looks like a Chinese 90. And i also thought the footwells came off a SP. The headlight looks like the one of the new Outlaws. Defentily shouldve redesigned the Scrambler in a different way maybe to compete with the Rene. I must say being a bigtime Polaris supporter... i am pretty dissappointed with the new lineup, maybe with the exception of the new XPs

Doesn't look much worse than the '09 Scrambler in my opinion!

I think all the entry level ones look bad now, something about the rear fender/footwell that is all square! Looks like a little "toy" now. I smell china as well.

I can see I won't be giving up my 03 anytime soon.
The new one looks like the out of wedlock mating of a steath fighter and a Honda.
And yeah, the new light mount is suckage.
