Do you really think it's coming after just getting bought out?
If you are talking about Textron acquiring Arctic Cat, I think its going to be better and we will have a better chance on seeing more new vehicles coming out of Arctic Cat. Textron is not an investment capitol firm that goes in and buys failing companies, to only piece them out or build them up and sell them off.
Textron is a huge multi industry company that has the capitol to invest hugely in the Snow sled and SXS market. In the small vehicle segment, Textron already owns EZ GO, Cushman, Bad Boy ect.. They bought those companies and have grown them in their market segment since taking them over. I cant see why Textron would not invest and grow Arctic Cat, like they have with the others? They did not pay $247 Million in cash to let it fail. Textron's huge in the Aviation industry. They own Citation, Cessna, Beachcraft & Bell. Then all that equipment you see running around airports, yep they own Tug & Douglas too.
The Company I work for, we do business with two Textron companies, and both have grown allot since Textron acquired them. I think this is Arctic Cat's real chance to compete with Polaris & Can Am, as the capitol will be there.
