There are several manufacturers, therein lies the problem. Certainly the Chinese can produce an excellent product like your iPhone. But where will ICON be in ten years? What if they fail?

The "Chinese" do not produce the iPhone. Apple products are produced by and American company that has a manufacturing plants in China and uses Chinese labor. The plants have American executives and upper level management.
That is very different than companies that are owned by either Chinese citizens or the Chinese government which is the case with ICON golf carts.
Personally, if I were going to buy a new golf cart I would buy either a Yamaha gas cart or a Club Car electric. These are the two best and proven carts on the market today. If I wanted and electric, I would go for a Club Car with lithium batteries.
Unless someone wanted one of those completely enclosed carts with air conditioning, I can't understand why anyone would look at anything else.
Both Yamaha and Club Car have many dealers and service station in within the Villages.
You might save a few dollars with an EZ Go and not a bad choice. Par Cars can be OK but getting parts and service can be a problem.
Just my opinion.
