Hi William,

We are excited to let you know that 2019 snowmobiles featuring the all new, most powerful 850 Patriot™ engine have started shipping from our Roseau, MN factory. We will continue to ship them as they are built, and they will arrive in dealerships through November. You'll hear from your dealer when your snowmobile arrives.

[Latitude 62]

Talked with my dealer yesterday... My 800's shipping date was pushed back from Sept. 14 to Sept. 28. All I can say to that is..... WTF?!?!?:face-icon-small-fro

So the Foreign Sleds can wait out the tarriff battle ??? Americans should be pushing for a 15% tax on imported Vehicles .

15% Tariffs on Skidoos :yo::usa2:

Edited for Poor Phone Grammer !

 

[NHRoadking]

%15 Tarrifs on Skidoos :yo::usa2:

Doo you mean 15% Tariffs?

Might want to be careful about waving the flag over tariffs. No one is immune given the interconnected world economy.

Here is an excerpt from an article in Business Insider on September 18, 2018, about the impact of tariffs on Polaris too.

Scott Wine, CEO of Polaris, a company that makes motorcycles, quad bikes, and snowmobiles, said in a recent TV news conference after the release of its second-quarter earnings that the company had raised prices on some items impacted by steel and aluminum tariffs, such as motorcycles.

"As we and others raise prices, it creates a real risk of inflation to our customers and the economy, which could be more harmful than the tariffs themselves," Wine said, according to the Associated Press.

Not to mention how much Polaris manufacturing occurs in Mexico

 

[Killer Time Racing]

Don't know many Mexicoians . It's PC don't laugh . That need sleds . .. Your totally Right Tax them Too !!

In Mexico, Wine says Polaris will be closer to states where its ATVs and related products have been selling especially well.

"Our ATV and side-by-side products represent over two-thirds of our total sales, with about 40 percent of that customer base located in the southern half of the United States,"

When asked how consumers view the decision

”Wine said he doesn't think consumers care"

 

[Sheetmetalfab]

One word.



Yes.

 

[Scott]

LOL
