Default Polaris made in China?????

knew that would get your attention

I bought these polaris atv diecasts for my 8yo- off the shelf from a polaris dealer...

yep, made in china

thought that was interesting. You'd think they'd want to keep even the toy domestic- or at least mexico.

My Polaris fender bag was made in China.
One of the zippers was broken when I opened the package.
The replacement already has issues.
It will go with the ATV.

Polaris is made in Mexico now but the good news is there built by illegal immigrants for America.

Seriously though the move to Mexico turned me of from buying any Polaris agian,and I,m from Canada. I,m no even sure if my ne BBR Ski-doo is made in Canada any longer.

I'm surprised that WalMart doesn't sell Polaris accessories.

From what I understand, diecast models aside, is that 1/2 of Polaris' will be made in Mehico. Those will be shipped to the Southern half of the US. The quads for the Northern half will be made in MN. This is all I could figure reading the various articles on the subject. Save a ton in shipping costs. Still would rather see them all made in the US.

On a side note, Stendori, my son's CanAm Renegade was/is made in Mehico. Not sure about their sleds.

One of my local Polaris dealers also sells Harleys. Most if not all of the accesories for both brands are made in China. I'm fairly sure my plow is Chinese.
