If I could get a 2013 for $2,600 + tax, I'd take it.

Because they have their last 2013 black pcx for $2600 which seems like a good deal even though I really want the 2015
Thats the issue I'm having. I think I could get my place down to $2,600 on a 13, but I think I would rather pay 3500 and not have to chance stuff like the seat

I agree but ive sat on the 2013. I'm only 5'7 so I barely even reach the hump but i think the 2015 is gorgeous and im willing to spend the $3500 but no one seems know to the exact they're coming to the US. If it is september then only gives me like 2 months of riding before winter hits. And it seems cheaper to replace than the price difference of $900 to just replace the seat

Not sure if this applies to you, but my dealer here in Honolulu just told me that he expects some in on July 25th.

I'll be a happy camper in a couple of weeks :D .

I actually ended up picking up a 2013 red pcx150 for $2250, $30 transfer fee, and about $200 in gas and supplies to go pick it up. It only has 160 miles on it.

You already have your scooter and perhaps you can let us know if Japan models come with the illuminated ignition? I have only seen them in Thailand (and this area) models with an alarm. Does your have an alarm? It's the first PCX that I see from Japan! ;) ;) ;) ;)

I paid $2950 for a new red 2013 PCX 150 but would have jumped on that if in excellent condition with only 160 miles. Good buy!

Is it posible that the general shape is different in almost every way?

Let's see two pictures of both models, but one over the other, instead of side by side, so that we can see them in detail:

And here we go with the "side by side" picture:

The more I see this scooter, the more I like it!
This excellent presentation by pcxpower is one of the most telling to those with a bug in their brain for symmetry. Note the stretched appearance of the 2015 and the lowered front end with lesser to reach handlebars. Probably means nothing to anyone but those who long for the custom PCX's you see that are extended.

Both scooters are similar and different at the same time! Honda has done a very good job with the redesign of the new PCX. I liked the old one, but as soon as I saw the new one I saw something special on it! :D :D :D :D

I test rode them both (2013 and 2105) pretty extensively at the Honda dealer near our campground and really could not tell much difference from the ride, etc. I heard comments both ways on the wide turn indicators vs. a bit sleeker look to the front from the salesman. I guess the jury is still out. The 12v adapter and extra fuel were a definite plus but I preferred the 2013 red to the shiny 2015 black ones which was all he had. For my height the seats were pretty similar and both are minus much padding. I ended with the new 2013 for roughly $500 less. Really enjoying it after about 700 miles but definitely dumping the seat. ;) After seeing all of the posts on the new 2015s I am really glad I test rode them both so I wouldn't be wondering...

Sounds like you walked (rode) through the process well. Congrats on your purchase and enjoy it, which I guess is what you have been doing if you have 700 miles on it. :)

I picked up a 2nd PCX150 (black) 2013 with 16 miles on it for $2300 back in May in perfect condition. I really do dig the white 2015 though. Difficult justifying the additional expense. Either way, my friends still make fun of me on it coming from a modified 1,000cc sportbike. I don't let it bother me though. Was just telling my wife this morning how comforting to know I can never "do myself in" on my PCX by getting over my head with the throttle or in the turns.
