Anyone else fed up with neighbors and others calling your ride a dune buggy?

it dont bother me...because if i am talking to someone that doesnt know any better, if i say, Rhino or SxS....they have no clue what im talking about and i end up having to explain it....so i end just calling it a "buggy" or some form of that...

Maybe whats funny is dune buggy is always followed by Rhino...I loved my Rhino but the fact it is now used to describe any SXS is comical...I don't refer to all quads as Banshees

It shows the power of first to market and name branding.

Anyone remember, "Can you make me a Xerox?"

They wanted a photocopy, but for years it was called a Xerox because they did it first.:cool:


This reminds me of that exact scenario...

I've always had Buggy's or Prerunners and we call our XP4 a buggy. Its what my 3 year old calls it, so that is what we call it.

And for those offended by the word "Buggy" you should only wish it was called a Buggy! UTV should be the bad word as AB1595 gave UTV's their own classification and laws. UTV's must wear helmets and so on, yet in a Buggy you are free to do as you please.

And for those who have had to describe it as a Rhino, I'm with you. I have had to do the same thing when people have asked what I have. I say a UTV or Polaris 4 seater and they look complexed. I say its like a Rhino and they go "OK I know what your talking about".
