I don't know the truth in it, but yes-someone else had mentioned it.
Can't remember where I read it though..

Yeah supposedly they're getting "rid" of all their models swapping them out for the new 441 engine design. Even the 361 is going away in favor of some other 60cc saw. So the 200T will be phased out, and there'll be another top handle to take it's place. At least that's been the word on the street for the last several months. I think by '09 they said most of the current line will be gone, 361, 660, 200T, etc...

There is no market to make the saw better. The only incentive for change is the legal need to reduce emissions. If the saw has 30% less power and burns up in a year, then that's ok as long as the emissions meet standards. :roll:

Damn...
Looks like I'll be buying a couple, few, 10 saws this year.
361 and 660 were on my list.

i can assure you...........
no manufacturer wants to "fock" up a good thing.this is all the EnvironmentalProstitutionAgency's doing.they require these lean running peices of garbage by 2010.
we all must suffer so the hollywood do gooders and Wash DCites can run around in their gas guzzling convoys and private jets.
don't you feel better now that you are compromising your life style so they don't have to compromise on theirs?

When I was at Northeast Stihl last year, I asked he head of product development for Stihl-USA about this.
There will be new saws coming, soon. The 362, 661, 461, etc etc.
The 200T will be phased out but not until 2011 or so. This will be the last saw they mess with and will be sure it comes back better than it is now.
They will also be releasing a new climbing saw next year to compete with Shindaiwa, and Redmax new climbing saw. The entire saw will be small enough to fit in the "frame" of a 192T!!! It will be called the ultra light or something to that effect.
They did good with the 441, so hopefully they will do right with the new pro saws. They will also be testing the new electronic carbs, while Husky will have its fuel injected saws out by summer/fall.

exactly Gary!
i'm not trashing the manufacturers here.i love the ms200.it is an excellent saw and i have one.
the manufacturers are in a tough spot.the EPA isn't buying the saws,we are.ultimately we should be the ones they have to please.not a bunch of hypocrits.
i'm already hearing nightmares with the new choked out diesels engines for this year.i'm curious to see how this all pans out.
will see what happens this time.the new 575xp better be a lot better than the last.the 372 is my favorite saw and i have considered loading up the attic with them.
