Saw one of these in person myself today
Pulled up the seat. Only difference I saw was a storage space under there and the seat really doesn't seem to be much thicker. Pulled the hood too and it looked the same under there too. But those fox shocks are pretty sweet!
I'm going to be buying another P1K3 this fall. Phasing out the Rangers for the Pioneers. I've looked at Hondas website and can't see why the LE is so much more. Looks like you get fancy wheels and Fox shocks. I use these strictly for utility, I could care less if they look pretty so I don't care what the wheels look like. So what else does the LE come with other then a 4K dollar additional price tag? I like the shocks but from what I've read, I can put those on for about $1200.

I noticed the seat did not look much thicker if thicker at all when I looked at one - i did like the color panels in flat - thought they looked sharp. I had to sit in it as I wondered if the storage would cramp leag room at all but it was fine for me.

Intelligent 4WD, first on a SXS
Basically if it's in 4WD it can tell if it needs to be open diff or locked , (EDIT Electronic brake force distribution, electronic torque biasing differential and hill start assist.)
I liked the idea but I picked up a discounted 16 Deluxe. Vs paying MSRP for the LE. They'll drop next year but I wanted one now and couldn't justify a $7k difference. If I was going to spend 7k more I'd buy a P500 too.

And shocks are running $1400..
I'm with ohanacreek.. i waited to see what the 17's had to offer and it just wasn't worth it to me. I do think the LE comes with Honda aluminum skid plate and a arm guards and the Honda brush guard bumper. I added that stuff aftermarket to mine with better skids and guards and the Honda brush bumper for $1000. And hoesntly.. I did not want the I4Wd system. I do want the shocks though! So I bought a 16 for 15,500 with a roof.. and did it my way.

Yep i4wd isnt going to be a big seller. Except to the white collar crowd witch this is designed for. Since they are familiar with it with the bmw and Mercedes crowd

I for one don't want extra electrics controlling all that. We shift on the fly no issues there. It'll help move the Polaris group over.

It was worth it, just couldn't justify $7500 extra at MSRP.
Shocks $1400
Winch mount wiring $200
A-arm /Skid. $500
Bumper $300
$1600 I-4WD
All adds to 4K
Wouldn't be bad but the 16's were discounted @3500
I'm adding the shocks and I have everything else except a-arm guards.

The Honda and Acura autos have it, both are far more affordable than a Merc/BMW/Lexus etc. better too
Powersports are big for some families. Don't have to be white collar to concentrate your money somewhere.

Meeeh, it all adds up but if you don't want the i4wd you can get better aftermarket stuff for the same or less money. If they'd offered the shocks on the standard deluxe then I may have waited but after the delay after delay on the p5 I wasn't going to take the chance of not having it by takeover. You're right about the MSRP not being justifiable. And it's just too early to get any kind of deal on them.

Exactly I would've used the Alum as a backer for UHMW skids or sold them. Hassle but someone would rather have metal than plastic.

I like my aluminum skids but they're full belly.. to add the side pieces to the Honda is another $300. Uggh, this all reminds me of how much I have in this thing!

I'm not adding it up. I just paid the credit card bill and didn't want to know how much of it was Pioneer parts. Semi-Plausible deniability.

Really like the dark color but the plastic is priced like camo

Correct me if I'm wrong but the new dark color is the same as the 16 only the finish is different, I believe.. pretty sure a 16 like mine is 200-250 for plastic. You're saying the new finish is plastic is that much more?
