I betcha!
I betcha somewhere, sometime today there were two Can Am engineers reading the unveil posts on this forum and the following comment was made :
"See, I told you they'd be pissed!"

I don't see the big deal. The F3 looked nice to me but I wasn't in the market for one. Did anyone expect the whole 2016 lineup to be unveiled?

Based upon the amount of Press that this "Big Event" was getting; I was certainly expecting a lot more...

The original version of the announcement said that they would be unveiling ONE product from the 2016 lineup.
I think most of us were expecting more than just a paint job on something that is now not New.
Guessing that is what all the bru ha ha is about.

Hi Madrebel,
Re: there were two Can Am engineers reading
I would bet that it is two sales people; I cannot imagine an engineer considering that a 'new' Spyder.

1800
BRP will capture my interest when they offer an 1800 or larger 'cc' engine...
i now have the 1330 F3-S, and love it.... but it's all about "cc's"....
come on BRP, listen up... we want POWER....... and MORE IS BETTER...
a nice horizontal 6, 2100 cc ROTAX would be AWESOME.....

On the POWER subject
A few weeks ago when BRP posted about the correct amount of oil needed for an oil change on all the 1330 engines there was a quote from the BRP poster that said; "AS OF NOW THERE IS ONLY ONE 1330 engine"...Which made me read between the lines that there may be something in the works??? Did anyone else pick up on this??? larryd

Power is not the solution to every question--but I do think it is a big consideration for the future. The 1330 went a long way--but it still underpowered compared to the Wing.
BRP would probably make a good marketing ploy if they put such an engine in the Spyder. They would sell a whole bunch of Spyders.

I like HP and torque as much as the next person, but I've never felt the 998 is underpowered. So I guess I don't really care what size motor the thing has. I *would* however LOVE to see an AWD version with all-season tires. If it had A/C, too, I'd be able to get rid of my truck.
