I was at my local dealer the other day and asked if they had many of the new SRX's pre ordered and the salesman told me nobody ordered any.I found that odd but I guess the 1" track and inch lower suspension wasn't what people wanted? Have any of you guys had any dealers not have anyone pre order one?

i think it's the price that has turned a lot of folks off.

Exactly. I would be more interested in buying a model with better track, and more suspension for less money, then have it wrapped to look like an SRX!
I did see one dealer showing them opening a crate, the SRX is damn sexy though. It's pretty tough to wrap another sled to get it all blue. I need a 2017 LE model to get there.

Well I'll be honest the price has certainly kept me from going to a new sled.I'm looking at possibly buying one a couple years old just so I don't feel so bad about the payments lol.i think it's the price that has turned a lot of folks off.

Price has nothing to do with it for me, it's the chassis I don't want.

Maybe a few people want a SRX because it has a chassis with the fastest skid and a track that has the potential to be the quickest do to more effective studs.Price has nothing to do with it for me, it's the chassis I don't want.

I don't want speed, I want the quality and smooth ride.Maybe a few people want a SRX because it has a chassis with the fastest skid and a track that has the potential to be the quickest do to more effective studs.

Glorified lake racer. Between the inflated pricing and the lower suspension, I wouldn't want it.

Improper marketing from the sounds of it. People don’t realize that it has just about the same travel. An almost everyone that’s riden them on area that are normally groomed (even when whooped out at end of day) said it ride and handling exceed previous models. The main purpose is lower to handle better, fix the 137 skid geometry so that it transfers better, and honestly the amount of snow under us coming out of a corner most would be shocked to find isn’t enough to warrant more than a 1-1.25” track. And the 1” track would be more sufficient once studded. I do believe I heard that a lot of guys want to run the 1.5” studs in the 1” track and I think clearances have changed with how rear skid is mounted, so that may be the only disappointment.
In mine and even my father’s case I think the srx would have been a sled for us but having no idea it was coming and liking the offerings last season we jumped then, and dropping another $17,000 a year later is asinine.
