Default Is Suzuki working on a Side by Side?

I have read in Quad Off-Road magazine that Suzuki might be working on a Side by Side. This would be great news, because the last few bikes Suzuki has introduced have been great. Does anyone know anymore about this?

I heard somewhere that they might just re-badge the Arctic Cat Prowler, as they own 40 some percent of AC.

Suzuki currently sells the kawi mule under the QUV badge. As for a new one I've heard nothing regarding it.

A Rhino-competitor with the KingQuad engine and EFI would be great.

I'd be shocked if they weren't working on one. I suspect every manufacturer is going to get into this market. If you're already building a big bore atv it isn't a huge engineering and development task to create a side by side. Consider the Grizzly 660 and the Rhino. Many of the parts on common to both machines. The Grizzly runs about 7 grand and the Rhino about 9. 2 grand for some plastic, a steering wheel and some tubing for a roll bar (I'm simplifiying but you get the point). I bet they make a killing off of them. I'd be curious as to the margins on a big bore atv for that matter. Anyone have access to those numbers from either a manufacturer or dealer point of view?
