Side-By-Side
The utility vehicle segment is following the utility ATV crowd in finally realizing that not all of these machines are bought as a tool...some folks actually like their sit-up-and-drive machines! Polaris and Yamaha have acknowledged that fact with several fun limited-edition versions of their Predator and Rhino. Both now come in versions decked out for hunting as well as dressed up for sport, with lower-profile tires and custom paint touches. Other full-featured options packages come with winches or other custom cosmetic touches.
And Arctic Cat has made a stripped-down version of its popular Prowler XT, known simply as the Prowler, in order to get the scarce machine into more AC customers' garages.
