By John Prusak
February 22, 2013
The unveiling of 2014 Yamaha snowmobiles that will be built by Arctic Cat in Minnesota utilizing many Arctic Cat components (including the base chassis) has caused quite a stir this week in the snowmobile community. Whether it’s on social media, snowmobile site message boards or during pitstop conversations on snowmobile trips, many people seem to have an opinion on what this all means.
Even more people, however, seem to have more questions than answers.
To help shed some light, for this week’s Friday Fast Five here on SnowGoer.com, we offer five quotes we heard at the Yamaha North American Dealer Meeting held Wednesday, January 20, in Minneapolis.
At the meeting, Yamaha had corporate executives and engineers from its U.S., Canadian and Japanese headquarters taking turns at the podium, trying to frame this information for the company’s most direct snowmobile customers: its dealers.
To those dealers, Yamaha officials talked about growing the staff at the North American testing and development center in Wisconsin, designing multiple new engines and chassis platforms and promising to grow Yamaha’s market share in the snowmobile business. But for now, we’ll get out of the way and let you read it exactly as it was stated to the dealers.
