Then you have a GS which is basically the same thing as an RS (they "updated" the name).

The GS and RS models are the same. :thumbup:
they were called "GS" first, and then the name got changed...

As I see it..!!

The biggest difference was changing the "G" to an "R". Maintenancewise they are basically the same from 08- to date. Some belt tension differences some exhaust changes cosmetics etc. :thumbup:

The 2008's were called GS. I had one of those. The 2009 carried the designation RS. I also had one of those.

BRP was referring to the :ani29: as a Roadster more in those days.

I am thinking that is why they changed from GS.

RS--Roadster Sport
RT (2010)--Roadster Touring
RTS--Roadster Touring Special--that version had everything on it in 2010--Premier--special edition.

The only thing that changed was the nameplate.

There was a lawsuit with Mitsubishi over the original "Spyder GS" name, as Mitsubishi already had a car out by that name. Settled by BRP changing "GS" to "RS."
