New Can Am coming soon

Talked to someone from Can Am today and they said their "XP killer" is coming out in a few months.

I have heard this for years but it could be for real.

What? Is commander gonna come with a grenade launcher!?!?!?

I hope so!

I won't be getting xp then. Don't want Tbone blasting me off the mountain!!!

It better have QE and power steering, at lest 14" of travel, and some cool looking rock buggy type styling. Oh, and it better not cost much more than the XP, or they are wasting their time.

I say bring it on....the more these companies compete...we always win.I hate to see the price tag on it.....I say $20,000. Ya'll rich boys go ahead and buy these best of the best...then cut us poor guys a deal on your old ones when the next big thing comes out.....see.....win...win situation.

Yea I'm worried about the price. I'll admit. Time will tell though. He said 2 and a half to 3 months away.

All u gotta do is put it on Bobby d's account. They will let u have it :talkin about:

I can't afford 20 grand then accessories

Good suspension, lower center of gravity, no restrictions on throttle body, and better ecu, watch out. Some of them California guys are slaying xps on the dunes, with just LT, ecu and intake mods!

I was hoping for a 4 seater !

You mean slaying stock XP's with just a few mods right? But there are no dunes in WV.

If Can Am is really gonna have an XP killer it's gonna have to be with a dedicated sport machine. No more sport/utility stuff. That's one thing I always loved about all the RZR's is they were primarily a sport machine and felt like a sports car, not a jeep. But everyone has different taste.

No he is killing turbo and built 900's. I think they need a four seater also.

Getting taken to the woodshed is still getting taken to the woodshed, I don't care where it is! All I'm saying is that the rotax engine is a beast, but brp has it detuned, if they make a pure sport it will run.

I wish honda would get their head out of their a$$ and make a sport sxs.

I found a top secret photo.....

I AGREE!!!!

X3 on the Honda

Can Am dealer told me they'd have a four seater last year...

Yea I know I heard the same. Thats why I say I wouldnt hold my breath on all of this. I have heard it all for a while. I hope it all works out and all of these things make it to production.

I just love the competition.

To just come out with a machine that has more speed than a xp would be easy. That's not what it's all about for most buyers. You could buy a motorcycle or a quick used mustang for that kind of money.

The most capable machine I've seen so far, is a xp with a set of Pitbulls mounted up. For them to go ahead and call it a xp killer is a very bold statement. Who cares if it can kill it on the hardtop?

As far as quickest on the trails, I would be surprised if a xp or commander could keep up with a Wildcat, due to the suspension and wheelbase. Yet some want to make fun of it when it gets beat in a dragrace on smooth straight ground.

I think the xp has the cat on the trail. They both have great suspension and the xp has more power torque to pull it out of the turns. Same driver on same course I would bet the xp has it by a long shot. Every little turn and hill, the xp would pull away

I would own either even if they didn't but 50mph. We hardley ever even hit 40 when we trail ride.

Now we hit zero to 40 pretty quick but I think both vehicles are more than capable of doing the job.

The KITTY-KAT seems to ride a ton better from what I have seen and it don't seem to have trouble making it through the tight woods...so if the compay backs up their product I would prolly go with the KITTY KAT.

My view has changed since owning one for a while now. I still like mine very much but they lack a few things in the suspension area. Bushings are a joke...tierods are a joke...ball joints are a joke. Other than that I am pleased with it....but hell...I would be please with about any ride as long as it rides decent and gives good service.

I just like ripping on you guys.. .....I don't need the fastest or the biggest. I just wanna ride!! YA HERE ME! I WANNA RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
