Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-01-14 01:30	The Stargate producers have to make do with what they can find locally. No television show has the time or money to scour the world for exactly the right vehicles. For a 'Russian' jeep, they'd probably be happy with anything that looked old-fashioned and unfamiliar to viewers in the US.
Alexander ◊ 2006-01-14 01:56	As 'Stargate' is a US-Canadian co-production it is most likely that this is a Canadian built 'Iltis'. Bombardier obtained the production rights and made 1900 Iltis for the Canadian Forces. I don't know if they were allowed or supposed to label the cars as 'Volkswagen', or if these vehicles are 'Bombardier Iltis'. Next to the Canadian Forces the Belgian Army bought 2500. ... Antoine, perhaps you could just check at the next army camp. -- Last edit: 2006-01-14 01:57:12
Alexander ◊ 2006-01-21 23:31	I checked the Volkswagen-Bombardier connection: The Iltis was produced in Canada under the name Bombardier Polecat [Model 183YX]. Production started in 1983.

It was not useful: one came to me I saw this in my street yesterday: (with a belgian military licence plate) But at the time I took the picture, I forgot your comment about it, and so I did not check if there was a mention of VW or not on it. And as the first photo is a little blurred, it does not help to see if it is a VW logo on the front or not (but I think that it is not) When searching on Internet, I do not find reference to "Polecat": http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Bombardier+Polecat%22 Should not we label it Bombardier Iltis rather?
sixcyl ◊ 2006-09-24 20:46	this site is amazing! .. I'd never heard of Bombardier as car make, and never heard of this canadian Iltis too! ... bravo guys!
garco ◊ 2006-09-24 20:54	Bombardier also builts trains...I guess you knew that...
Alexander ◊ 2006-09-24 23:06	antp wrote ... Should not we label it Bombardier Iltis rather? 'Polecat' is the translation of 'Iltis', an animal (lat. Mustela putorius). I have reference that Bombardier uses the English name 'Polecat' ... but only in a book! They might use 'Putois' in the Belgian Army!

Dave1980 ◊ 2009-08-10 22:19	Hi, i work for a canadian army surplus in Québec/Canada and i can confirm that these are canadian Iltis used by canadian force. They are equipe with a volkwagen gaz engine and 24 volt alternator but made under bombardier name. Bombardier make snowmobile, plane, ATV, 3 wheel moto, seadoo, train, ... no car except military vehicle. Some of those product are sold under BRP banner. The Iltis we had for sell are praticly sold out but were about 3000$/cnd per unit. We still have truck here the link. http://www.prefair.ca/products/?id=3312&s=432 About Stargate, they turn the series in vancouver/ Canada because it cost less to produce -- Last edit: 2009-08-10 22:20:10
jettalover ◊ 2009-08-11 04:20	It's cost effective to make movies/tv shows in B.C. Maybe that's why the popular t.v. show "Fringe" is moving shooting from N.Y.C. to Vancouver for this upcoming season this fall.

Maybe that's why the popular t.v. show "Fringe" is moving shooting from N.Y.C. to Vancouver for this upcoming season this fall. It's also moving because the money New York State allocated for film and television production tax credits has run out. The exchange rate and tax credit program make British Columbia an attractive location for film and television production.
