I am starting to really want a new p500 in the sexy green color... the auto feature is very appealing. I don't mind less ground clearance if the ride is better. I can't justify in any way buying another sxs. Someone talk me out of it!!! I know @rocmar can... LOL!!!

You've already made your mind up. If you can't justify getting any other sxs. Just get it! Lol then post pics of it out in the wild!

When I said another I meant I already have one! If I could add the auto feature to mine that would be great! This is mine now

It must be my family heritage of having a chicken farm that I can't stand that green color. My dad and grandfather refer to it as chicken sh!t green! lol

So seeing that color also brings with it a distinctly odor memory? ;)

I have no idea why Honda thinks that is more appealing than the original dark green.

To me the new green looks like a glossy army green...I like it! A green '17 would look awesome sporting all of the mods that William has done. Would look great in my garage.

Your 'old' P500 looks good. I have the '17 and find that I'm manually shifting half the time. The auto is still pretty rough shifting but I only have about 135 kms on the machine so it's still breaking in. The grass always looks greener on the other side. I'll switch machines when they put a locker in a P500!!

I like it @William I wouldn't hesitate to buy it (if I had none).
Auto is a feature I'd use as well. So I think I know exactly where you're coming from.

After some thinking I have decided on a p700. Undecided on 2 seat or 4 yet. Close second is the Kawasaki teryx camo. I don't quite trust the p1000 yet. Gotta save my allowance now...

Man.. if you're going to do it, buy the 1000!!! Trust me!! :) It's FREAK'N awesome!

No doubt, I sold the P700 and won't even think about selling the P1000 to go back.

The P700 is a fine machine and will probably live longer than I do but so far my p1000 has proven to be very reliable and double the horse power is nice. Don't forget it's got 12 forward gears vs the P700's 3.

Now if the P700 had a low range and selectable rear diff, it would be hard to beat.

And more horse power and top end.
