Coming Soon--The Can Am Hybrid

[ARtraveler]

BRP announced today that the new Can Am Hybrid Roadster would be available in June of 2017. It is a combination of an electric powered unit with a small back up Rotax engine. Mileage on the electric charge is said to be a hundred miles plus (no typo here) and another hundred and twenty five miles on the rotax.

The model will be come in a Premier Edition only and there will only be 250 made for the year 2017. Cost is an unbelievable $36,999. (I was predicting in the $40K or higher range.)

Just a quick FYI.

C'mon folks. It's April fools day. You fell for this? :roflblack:

If it is real, I wish they would invest their R&D time and dollars into perfecting what they already make.

This reminds me of the current cager (4 wheel) Hybrids that cost an average $10-15,000 more than a gas vehicle. You have to drive them more than a million miles to get those extra bucks back. This is virtue signaling by Can-Am and their marketing strategy will sell it as going green to a bunch of gullible fools:joke:

It's

April first............right?

That is a totally selfish point of view, looking at it squarely from the point of view with economic recovery.:yikes:

How arrogant of you not to consider how the entire planet and all of its creatures are eternally punished by your outlandish activities with the burning of fossil fuels. After all, before the industrial age the planet never had climatic changes, mankind and your foolish internal combustion engines have caused this entire eco system to be destroyed. Meanwhile all you consider is the payback time, how dare you.pps:

I suppose the next thing you will want is your right to drink and drive returned to you, my goodness, with the insanity never end. :banghead:

Is that an RS or ST body? Maybe April Fool article, but if not . . . not for me! :lecturef_smilie:

 

[Bob Denman]

Did somebody shout "April Fools!" yet?

The price of having mankind on this planet makes the planet more toxic than it was before we occupied it. With that being said, there is no concrete proof that we are the cause of global warming. For every expert that "proves" we cause it, I will find another that proves we don't. The Great Lakes were formed over billions of years by the receding of glaciers...who caused that global warming?

With that being said, I think we should all be good stewards of the environment and our non-renewable resources. It doesn't matter what technologies we use, they all have some impact on the environment...research how a battery is made and what happens to it after its lifespan is complete...not a very environmentally friendly technology.

Now if they invent a nuclear powered Spyder...I'm in!!!:roflblack:

You are so correct. After reading this I went to my local bridge.....stood by the edge staring down into the abyss....contemplating my misimformed unjust sancimonious opinion.......and then I realized.......screw it I'll burn some fuel and went for a ride
