Come on Matt O

Very well put Jim !

Due to the current site rules, Matt can't reply. That is being worked on (slowly) and I'm sure he'll post once he is able. For now, dealers and manufacturers can't post about their products.

Maybe it's time to take a second look at this rule?

Yep, maybe allow upcoming models but not actually in production yet. If they're not in production they can't be sold therefore not a sales pitch. Folk will have to contact dealers when the time is right to actually purchase ?

I think it would be good to have a section of the site where manufacturers can tell us about new features that are coming out. I think we should maintain the moratorium on dealers deluging us with sales pitches. I have seen some very contentious conversations, elsewhere, in which two dealers went at it for about 2 dozen posts. Each was trying to upstage his competition. I don't think that is a healthy dialogue for a hobbyist site.

I, personally, would welcome posts in which a manufacturer listed new features that he/she is planning to bring out in the next 6 months or so. It would also be nice to know some of the long-term plans for major line-ups.

Mike has been around longer and seen how these things go, so I am willing to defer to his judgement. I suspect the whole dealer thing is a very slippery slope...of course slippery slopes are one of the reasons we own AATVs, right?

A lot of this stuff could be obtained from the manufactures themselves. They are a phone call away.
This could also be put in the "interview" type threads.

I would think that if Matt had new product info that he was ready to share he would put it up on the Mudd-OX web site.

Maybe new Max/Mudd-Ox information will make its way on to the fancy new max6x6.com site. I see it has a lot of old info. You can even look up your Max year by serial number.
