Around here, 2016 t3 154 and t3 163 are out the door for under $10k (with 1 year warranty). That is about what we paid for my wife's 2015 600 154 with rebates last year.
It is a bit frustrating, but the name of the game after how last winter went. I was $10,900 roughly out the door with my 2015 xm 600 154 last year. Sad when I could go walk into the same shop (summit) and grab a brand new 800 t3 which retails for like 3k+ over the 600...
As for new stuff, just maybe run the race flash in production sleds (factory race freerides flat haul ***) and a trimmed up plastic design, maybe make the hood suck less to take off (see axys)
I love doo stuff but they could take a note or two from polaris regarding ease of servicing and working on the sleds. Not that they break often and need work but I would rather work on a pro or axys 100:1 over an etec.
I can do a turbo kit on an axys and only take the quick connect hood parts off. start to finish 3 hours. on a xm its a full sled tear down and takes half a day easily. Also, simpler is lighter. That 100 piece stock hood airbox assembly is a joke, so expensive, so many parts and heavy to boot.
