Yep, a lot of good point here, newt! However, I do have one thing that was stated in the interview with the head of Polaris and which I question, and that is his idea that "Indian dealerships will be separate and all to themselves".
Ya see, my thoughts here rre that because Indians will be a high-end product and thus fairly low-volume in sales, how does he expect a "Stand-Alone" dealership such as this to do enough business to STAY in business for very long.
I would think that the ONLY way such a dealership could move enough product in order stay in business would be for his Indian brand dealerships to ALSO market Polaris' other products, such as their quads and snpwmobiles and such.
(...wouldn't ya say?!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
