Just got wind of the Polaris Slingshot on the Spyderlovers forum. I have owned two Spyders: the 610 th one built and now I own the 104th one built. I am always interested in new modes of transportation especially three wheelers. I had money down on an Aptera but that never amounted to anything. I am watching the Elio but that is likely not going to make it either. I would buy a new Morgan 3 wheeler except the price point is off the charts and it uses an air cooled Harley motor.

So maybe Polaris can get in the game and give BRP some competition. While BRP had a fine design with the original Spyder they lost their way when it came to a dealer network to handle an over the road vehicle. I expect Polaris to have similar difficulties since this will be their first venture into over-the-road vehicles. Trust me that you don't want the guy who takes care of your snow mobile working on a daily driver.

So with 60,000 mile so n a Spyder I am ready for a new adventure on a Slingshot.

Welcome to the forum Bob! Things are pretty quiet around here right now but the party should start soon!

I own the ranger and the RZR. I would go work for polaris R&D if I did not have such deep roots. Maybe with the launch of a road vehicle, opportunities will get closer to home.
Anyway, with the slingshot teasers, they have my interest piqued - in a big way.
I am ready to start listing the options I want. I hope they can make some sort of convertible top (even if it is just a temporary deal like a snap-on piece of vinyl) to get you in during popup storms. Maybe a cab for winter driving (assuming FWD) ???
Oh BTW, I just dropped a good wad of $$ from the 401K account into Polaris Ind. stock (PII). I think it will go up a ways when this vehicle is on all the news channels in a few weeks.

Welcome Eaton! We certainly like the ideas about accessories. Be sure to post up your ideas on what you would like to see Polaris offer here: http://www.slingshotforums.com/threads/polaris-slingshot-accessories-ideas.91/

Can't wait to check this thing out. 300 HP turbo kits will be coming shortly. LOL

 

[dascrow]

Welcome to the forum wvyankee2, cool avatar.. very fitting

Turbo or Supercharger kits.. I wonder what comes first?

 

[4Nines]

Welcome! I for one am already planning on adding some boost.

 

[wvyankee2]

I bet. Can't wait to see the Pikes Peak version.

I bet. Can't wait to see the Pikes Peak version.

Am I that predictable?!

Hey everybody, I just got an e-mail today from Polaris, and I couldn't believe what I was (not) seeing!
Certainly has my interest peaked, as all things small and affordable have caught my eye in recent years . . . the Fiat 500 Abarth, the Elio, the Honda Grom, etc.
I'll be checking progress on the Slingshot for sure. Not sure if I'll ever pull the trigger on one or more of these toys, but it's fun to think about it.
My current toys are a 2005 Polaris Predator 500 TLE, a 1998 triple black Vette., and an Xtreme CR107 Pitbike (death trap!)

Oh, I slobber quite frequently at the Hondagrom site, and I'm pretty sure I'm a member over at planetminis (been a while).

Did someone say Turbo? I know what I am doing on July 28th...

 

[RayZeR]

Heard about the Slingshot a little while ago. Thought I'd join the forum and catch up on all the buzz. Can't wait to see the version that will be released to the piblic.
