    This isn't Snowmachinelopnik or Snowmobilopnik or even the relatable motolopnik. (though Diddles, I must say, I'm getting excited over the concept of planeopnik or better yet, Jaloplane.)


    When Yamaha makes a car, call us-- Oh wait, that almost happened once. Though I guess you can thank Yamaha for the ride.


    Ask Yamaha to kindly get back to making motorcycles and pianos.

    @Pleco - e pluribus hoonum: don't forget ATVs!


    So, are you against Honda making Jets and jetskis?

    @BraappBraapp: Some Assembly Required!: eh that last line I didn't really mean.

    With Honda, it's more of an issue of "What don't they make?" SnowMachines, Motorcycles of every variety, generators, standalone engines, personal watercraft...


    Mitsubishi is a close 2nd.


    @Landau_Calrissian

    Heard of the SX4 lately? That's a nice little car and I'd definitely have one. AWD and stick for 16k? Sign me up.

    As someone who lives in an area where snowmobiling jackets are considered formal wear, I want to know: why is this on Jalopnik?

    Great job, Diddles!


    I've been thinking that, having lived in MI for 10 years now, I should get into winter sports. Snowmobiling looks like it would be hella fun.


    There are problems:

    1. Where do I store the snowmobile the other 3 months of the year?

    2. I don't want to have to drive 5 hours to get to decent snow. Now, I keep hoping the AlGore is wrong and we go into some major global cooling. Then I could ride my snowmobile up Telegraph Road to work.

    3. My assless chaps would be cold in the winter.

    @aSoundofSleep: Aye. I'm thinking I'm going to start looking for work in Edmonton just so I can get enough tracktime on the Dearthair Ring so I can kick his ass regularly.


    More likely, he'll kick my ass regularly.


    Either way, you know there would be drinking of scotch afterward.

    I want to see the continuous film, not these jump cuts, before I pass judgment because the little WRX with the skiers we've seen was the real deal. Not slalom, true, but jumps and about everything else.
