I don't believe its any less of a sled to the other 2,
Oh quite the contrary. That heavy dependable motor gives me way more ride time than everyone I know with any year Polaris. And even wide and arguably heavy, the chassis doesn't ride like a stupid trail sled with a seated position steering angle and a weeble wobble track like skidoo.
Horsepower is already pretty attainable. It's not that I wouldn't like lighter and stronger. It's just that unlike Polaris, Cat has a pretty high bar to improve from IMO.
I'll be peeping the innernets just like everyone else to see what they do, but like I said.......I think of it as kind of like "two year anticipation". Certainly won't be buying a first year anything. From anyone. Ever. The first year home runs are out there but they're the exception, not the rule.
