It will be interesting to see how the states fit them into there existing trail systems - is it a "SxS" or a "Jeep." (for the lack of a better term). Here they are not road legal (would be GREAT it if was), so I don't know how our trail system is going to restrict them yet. Hopefully they get lumped in with SxS's (I think they should since they are not road legal) then everyone can use them on all our state trails! Cant wait to see some out on the trails around here and go for a ride!
Legally it is a side by side, so your state should treat it as such. Unfortunately in many states that means it can't be tagged for road use. If the width is allowed they can be used on public use UTV trails though.

The gov't is going to great lengths to make sure these don't end up on the streets.

I would guess that Jeep/Chrysler is probably lobbying at state/fed levels against them.

They don't even come close to passing State or Federal DOT standards. Why would Jeep/Fiat have to lobby against a side by side UTV?

You are right.

Because at the local level, there are many that would like to sneak them through.

Too bad. Everything is so right about these as a UTV, and everything so wrong.

Finally, a UTV with real wheels and ground clearance, conventional automotive layout, and non-snowmobile transmission.

Quite expensive though. Base Model here, is apparently around 20,000 CDN.

The SIZE is the worst though. I don't think you could get by, driving an unlicensed jeep CJ on the back roads around here (for FARM use), so this thing won't fly either.

'Finally, a UTV with real wheels and ground clearance, conventional automotive layout, and non-snowmobile transmission." - You described my Talon! 32's, ton of clearance and no belts! Honda built a nice machine and with a few tweaks it is great in the WV woods!
