NEW-pics of Wildcat from 50th Annv

OK I think I want a black one

looks good , but i hope they have some big mud guards to put on it

Sick looking machine

I feel sorry for Tim. It looks like painting my next machine will not be very easy.

Tie rods, axles, and A-arms look beefy.

NO Damn Parking brake!

No tie-downs in the bed!!

from what I can see so far...I still like the XP better.

Things I like:
Radius Arms / trailing arms do not pose to be catching points like the XP

I like where the air intake is. The bed is nice but could be better for securing items.

water temp and oil pressure gauges from the factory

Suspension / axels looks beefier than the XP

I will still wait until next year to see which is the better machine though, but Kudos to Arctic Cat for doing their homework

I think that is an Artic Cat thing mine didn't have them either. I installed them.

Yank.....there is "Park" on the shifter.....just like in your car.

Wonder what the price tag is going to be on one?

Yeah, just like in the RZR when it gets stuck in Park on a hill.

No substitute for a good park brake when you are riding places like Brimstone.

Airborne there are tie downs 4 to be exact the little u clips on the sides of the bed

LOL...

Im just curious to see what one looks like after one of our distinguished stunt drivers puts one shiney side up..... theres alot of exposed plastics on it!

I don't know what I think about it lol..... It looks kind of cool.. Doesn't look like much protection from mud and rocks. The wheel wells seem very open.. The bed looks pretty good. The rear trailing arm suspension looks much better the the XPs IMO... I'm not crazy about the headlights, tail lights or the laid back front cage. Really just don't like most of the cage I guess. Its cool that it wraps the entire machine.. But it fits very tight. As in made into the plactic almost. Any little bend is going to F up the body. I also agree with what muddybuddy said.. Lot of plactic poking out of the side and its not just bolted on flaps.. Its parts of the main plastics.

I heard it was going to be priced competitive to the XP so I bet your about right!
