Absolutely you would get more sled for the money, maybe thats it, they ran out of money designing this thing? In a rush to get it to market, Hahaha!! kinda looks like they went retro, sno scoot on roids... no different when the REVS first hit the scene in winter of 2002
You either loved them or hated them...... just imagine where they will all be in another 10 years..... $20K price range??

You may want to do some re-search before you start yappin.

If you do a comparison of all 600 class sleds, for all four brands (top of the line 600's) you will see that the Rush is right there with the X Package E-techs and the FX- nytro and any other TOP OF THE LINE 600 with all the options.

Cutting edge new tech costs money.

A rush to get this sled on the market? LMAO.

You must have missed all the demo rides happening all across the country all winter last year, and at some popular grass dragging events this summer/fall.

Maybe your just a "glass half empty" kind of guy.

At least not any willing to man up and admit it here. Just what i thought. Next year Im thinking they will do away with that beaver too.

Even if the Rush does fail, the IQ is still the best chassis on the snow, so no worries.

I have two issues with the Rush, 1st is the $$$, 2nd is it is so friggin' ugly. Looks are subjective so some might like it. I was checking one out at my local dealer and just couldn't get past that beaver tail, the front end isn't too bad. I hope it works out, competition is a good thing.

Hard to compare the APEX and the Rush. They are two different sleds built for different purpose. Goes back to my "what do you consider more" statement. Both great sleds, targeted at different audience. The Apex wouldn't suit my riding style. I bought a leftover 09 Dragon for $8100, MSRP was $9699. The MSRP on the 09 Apex is $11499? Gotta compare apples to apples:

2010 Arctic Cat F6 Sno Pro MSRP $9899
2010 Ski-Doo MXZX RS 600 ETEC MSRP $11449
2010 Ski-Doo MXZX 600 ETEC MSRP $10449
2010 Ski-Doo MXZ Adrenaline 600 ETEC MSRP $9699
2010 Polaris Rush MSRP $10299
2009 Polaris Dragon 600 SP MSRP $9699 (No 2010 Dragon 600)
2009 Yamaha Nytro RTX SE MSRP $11599
2010 Yamaha Nytro RTX SE MSRP $11799

Cheapest I saw a leftover 800 Dragon is $8300.00 this year. I was not comparing the Rush to the Apex. They are two completly different sleds for sure. I was comparing the price/cc/hp difference.
