Theres been rumors about a Auto....And a Polaris priority engine??...They are awful late on the 2020's.......Most dealers have a boat load of 19's....And quite a few Polaris dealers have dumped the Slingshot line....My nearest dealer dumped his at the middle of last Summer......

Well they had to make some sort of changes on the slingshot. Not many people like Manual Transmission. I have heard of passenger heat complaints and other things I could deal with.

Now it would be interesting to see what improvements if any will be coming out?

As for unsold units on the lots. I am sure they will sell and closer to cost to get them off the lots.

So in 13 days we should know more. Facebook had a teaser video. Sure there be a few more before then.

If they do put an Auto in they will sell more initially.....And a large number of them will be nimrods , And then there will be a lot of Slingshots in ditches...If you ever driven one in rain or damp roadways you''ll know what I'm talking about..

There are a few owners on the Slingshot forums who will Not ride in even light rain..

Isn't that what traction control is for

Yea, But not every time you hit the gas a little too hard....And by hard i mean unexpectedly .....But it is what it is....With out traction control the Slingshot could not have been sold....

I park it in my garage, Takes up the same space as a small car....Luckily i have a wide two car garage i park on one side my wife parks her car on the other side....

[trikermutha]

If I ever get one I would have to get rid of the Spyder and move or throw away some crap in the garage..

Which Model did you test drive

[trikermutha]

2 days until they reveil the 2020 Slingshot.. Still wonder if its all hyped up as they like to do. They seem to do it with the Spyder too. And all that changed was the colors..

But do expect a new engine and Automatic transmission along with some cosmetics changes.

I believe some 2018's too. They are trying to mark them down and sell before the 2020 is announced.

It does look like LED lighting on the front end.

The Slingshot Website is still in flux....But it looks like they did away with entry-level S..

Still using the GM Engine..In some models , And a Polaris engine in another ,With more HP 210?...But less Torque and red line at 85 hundred..Also an Auto trans has been added.....Other than that ?...

Oh wow, Ronnie, I can see you in or on a Slingshot. Yeah, you might want to hide it. Lots of power there, think rear tire replacement.

Just my 2¢ ,

Being Polaris is pushing horse power , why it isn’t FWD ? More power to the road , plus the rear would not kick out in wet conditions .

My HHR SS , pushes 310 hp , all they needed to do was to use the front sub frame , as it’s what they use to begin with. Only difference would be a sideways engine design .
