    Well I want an new ST but Roberts offer me a deal. They will sell me a new RT s&e with fog lights for 19,700 seems like a good deal but I respect your opinions.

    The RT is considered upline from ST unless you want the sportiness of the RS version incorporated into your . It's a buyers market now for new 2011 and 2012's.

    Do your want the "newest" or do you want a "deal"?

    RT hands down. I don't remember prices plummeting like this last year. I know they have new models out but i'm also thinking they have gobs of inventory to move, which is not so good for the company or a seller. If your a buyer, this is xmas in october for sure.

    depends on if you want sport or comfort. For me, my next spyder will be a RT because I am more interested in comfort than sport, but that is just me.

    I like the RT but with all the new improvements I would wait for the 2013 RT.

    Wait a minute...
    When you said, "but I respect your opinions";did that include MINE as well???
    RT anyway!
    Get the fogs, and tell him to throw in the LED accents up by the headlights to sweeten the deal a bit!

    Don't worry; BRP and the dealer will still be making a profit. And, of course, the buyer makes out.

    Which RT model exactly, RT, RT A/C, RTS, RT Limited? Fog lights come standard with the RTS and the RT Limited. Fog lights can be added to the RT and the RT A/C. I dont think its a good deal unless it is the RTS or the RT Limited. JMO

    Scrat might look okay if you could lay him down on a yellowish background...
    Let me know when your farkling gene kicks in; I'm pretty sure that I might have heard of a place (or three) where you could find some treasures...

    My farkling gene has already kicked in unfortunately my wallet didn't follow. 2 RTs in 2 months is more then I expected to spend this year on toys, oh well life is short. Calsci shield, shocks and graphics are on my short list. If your reading Darling I love you.
