The recent introduction of the Polaris General made me curious about where this new vehicle fits in the universe of crossover side-by-sides designed for both work and play. Given that the price point ($15,999) of the base model Polaris General 1000 EPS is at the higher end of the crossover market, I decided focus on some of the more expensive models, as well as, the next lowest pricing tier for some of the leading brands.
