Dont think so. Nobody photoshopping would think to add those ugly yellow seats to it.

Agree, it definitely has the John Deere look to it, with the yellow seats and headrest, yellow wheels, vinyl enclosure, etc.

I agree, no P/S there.

I like the door looking things on it.

Well, that was a totally different set of plastics. Here it really is -- much more traditional John Deere look:





>>“Headlining the 2011 XUV models will be the brand new Gator XUV 825i - the fastest and most powerful Gator ever produced,” said David Gigandet, tactical marketing manager, utility vehicles. “Anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors will enjoy putting its best-in-class advanced engine system to the test.”

Boasting 50 HP, it is the highest-powered engine in its class with superior low-end torque for taking on even the toughest tasks, trails, and terrain. Horsepower is delivered by an 815cc, liquid cooled, inline 3-cylinder engine featuring 3 valves per cylinder, dual overhead cams and electronic fuel injection.

“And, the 825i can travel at speeds up to 44 mph,” emphasized Gigandet. “This is the fastest Gator we’ve ever built and this is an example of the commitment we’ve made to provide top-of-the-line XUVs for the outdoor enthusiast.”

I like it.

Wow, this industry has only just begun......

I think it's also interesting to see what tires they're putting on them... first the RZR S, then the Commander, and now this John Deere...

Looks kinda like Yank's lineup, just above...

More info on this new John Deere, if anyone is interested. Looks to be several enhancements, including 2" more wheel travel -- now 9" front and rear. They're claiming 52 HP for the 3-cylinder gas, and 44 MPH...

Interestingly, they're also claiming 35 MPH for the diesel model.

Not sure if you can see that attachment or not -- I'm a member of that forum...

Dang i would like to see a Big old Red MF ! Massey Ferguson.

Well that first photo that I posted must've really hit a nerve. I'd posted it and the UTV Blog link on a different forum, where I got this PM:

Please do me a favor and remove this Leaked Photo of John Deere Sport SxS from your blog. This photo should have never been taken as the individual that took it signed a confidentiality form and is being taken to court for his actions. For the good of the Side-by-Side community and all the blogs, John Deere would appreciate that it be removed. In the mean time, enjoy the new Gator XUV models.

Note that they call it a SPORT SxS...

I replied that it was not my blog, and I suggested that he contact the UTV Blog and have them pull it down, then it will disappear everywhere it is linked...
