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.

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.

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.
