Christopher,
You don't need to get your panties in a bunch. If you ask people for comments and first impressions and six minutes later you say "well?" then we will give you our thoughts, but you don't have to say we are negative, haters etc. all I commented on was how ugly that blue and orange sled is with some added visuals for entertainment purposes. That's satire. For the guy who doesn't work for yamaha and thinks that sled is "good looking" buy it get all the attention you are seeking. It is a head turner all right. Chris, I know you have a sense of humor cause I've seen it in many cases. Let it go man, we know you are on our side. I bought Yamaha sleds for the same reason you did. We just live in a world where our examples are CNN and Fox News; hence exaggeration occurs.
Secondly, I do wish it was easier to identify who works within the industry so the average joe could more objectively value their opinions. If you work for yamaha, it makes a lot more sense to me when I hear "I think it's good looking". If someone sells sleds for a living then I know why they have such strong opinions about small details, which almost always seem to align with what they sell. Not always the case I know, but fair to say most of the time?
Would I like to own one of these sleds down the road? Yes. Would I pay $15K+ plus for a brand new one? Not at this stage in life, no, but I wouldn't for any sled.
