Merry Christmas all. I was wondering where rzr was made. I was hoping it was made in America, but we do-not manufacture much any more, except maybe fast foods and W.M.Ds.:redrzr:

Most of it is made in Minnesota, but polaris uses some parts from other countries too, and nearly all their aftermarket parts come from china.
Thats good to know its made in Minnesota. Its to bad the after-market company's stuff made in China. I believe its a good policy to buy only American made products, but I know thats not the case, since we are no-longer a manufacturer Country like we use to be in the good ole days we where #1 at everything.
Its almost impossible for a business to imagine NOT importing parts or using labor in an overseas country.
How does it help the business to pay someone here say, $20/hr here, when someone will do the same work for like 10 cents an hour somewhere else?
I know everyone loves the whole MADE IN AMERICA deal, but when it comes down to costs, its obvious why work and parts are outsourced, isn't it?

It is a tough situation.
If we were to put a ban on imports we would not have a lot of products we want as consumers, and a lot of American businesses would be shut down. If my business couldn't import products I would have to fire all my American employees and be looking for work myself...

It is a tough situation. You sure got that right.
I do-believe a ban would be good, because we can-not compete with a bowl or rice wages and why should we have to compete with third world Country's? Since we do have to compete against them. It is turning our once Great Country into just another third world Nation. Most of the money goes overseas and does not stay here at home. Thats why we have to barrow so much money from them, because we bought all there stuff. Drags the U.S.A down to there level. We will be even when everyone works for "Bowl Of Rice" for 16 hour shift. That day is in the future at the rate we are going.

I call BS on this sure someone will always do the work cheaper but does that lower the price we pay?I say not really look at Nike shoes you pay over 100 bucks for or 300 dollar hand bags and they pay them people pennys a day to do it.Its called more profit thats all.
Here is a great site I buy all most all my stuff from USA Made Clothing Jeans and Shirts by All American

The Bottom line is most in american dont give a SHIT unless it effects there job.I dont care what you do someone will do it cheaper.We still have lots of choices to buy american so we should make that choice or else we will keep on losing our good jobs.
A country can not import more than they export.

Cheap foreign goods has resulted in a huge standard of living increase for those whose career is not in manufacturing. The price of clothes and shoes used to be astronomical, now its all cheap. Same with energy, we complain about $ 3 gas but look at Europe with $ 7 gas.
if youre not in services for a living, you will not see a standard of living increase, likely your job will go away.
Also, home ownership has resulted an an immobile work force. Big problem.

I would like to believe it was made or at least assembled in America. Based on the VIN #'s i dont think so. If it is anything like cars, trucks and motorcycles, the first number of the VIN would be 1 for US, 2 or 3 for Mexico or Canada (always get em mixed up), J Japan, W Germany, K korea etc... thought 4 was south America but could be wrong on that one.
"we complain about $ 3 gas but look at Europe with $ 7 gas"
They pay that much in gas because of taxes.
"clothes and shoes used to be astronomical"
This is so untrue profit margins only went up, prices on this stuff really didnt come down much.
You can not have a service economy when a country loses its manufacturing it losses its power in the world.
The point is there is so much still made here but most dont even bother to look for it unless it effects there job they dont care.

Some people think that if companies pay American wages that they can't compete and will go out of business. I think that is true in some cases, but I also think that the cheap overseas wages is a way for big corporations to maximize profits, and greedy executives to maximize their wages. These people are selling us out to make a quick buck. It is up to the American consumer to protect American jobs. I believe we won WW2 by out manufacturing our enemies, think we could do that today, hope you like rice......
I was told by a Yamaha dealer that Polaris does not make there motors. The motors are made by different companies, depending on who makes POPO the best deal.
Does anyone know if this is a true statement or just B S?

Back to the original question here. The basic RZR is made in "MinneSnowda" but they are really made in shops and garages everywhere with the all important add-ons.
I was surprised when I saw the sticker "Made in Italy" on my RZR!
It must be so that the parts are shipped over to Europe and then they assemble them together in Italy.

Ya kinda like a Harley. They out-source a-lot of parts to. Make more profit I guess. Harley and Polaris Still A U.S.A. Company. The money stays here at Home instead of Overseas.

Where are UTVs Made? Country of Production for Top UTV Brands
UTVs are made all over the world but the largest manufacturers have plants in the United States, Mexico, Japan, and China. Several American based companies do not manufacture their own UTVs and many are outsourced to China for the entire vehicle, or for the parts.
