With Indian, Polaris has "something where they can go after that high-end consumer. With Indian, there is a lot of brand equity."
Ambitious plans
Menneto wants to have 150 Indian dealers set up across the United States and Canada by year end 2014. And he wants about $375 million in annual sales in five to seven years.
It's a tall order. There are just 14 Indian dealers today. Only 100 of the 2013 Indian models will be made and sold. So a lot is riding on the 2014 redesign and production ramp-up.

How many riders remember the Indian enough to be nostalgic about buying one . Im 62 and dont remember them being different than Harleys.I was too young to read anyway. Most of the guys , I remember rode TRiumphs because they wanted to be like Marlon Brando "Wild Ones ".I see twenty somethings ride Harleys anyway and soon it will be Indians . I guess its a good looking engine if you like the flathead look,kind of contrived though something the Japanese would do .
