Few times in life are as enjoyable as the return of an old friend.

It's one of those happy times: The Vespa PX, one of the world's most recognized icons of fun and style, is back.

Two-wheeled fun, blooming with thoughts of freedom, sun-filled days and intriguing adventures, has re-emerged in the form of the world’s most recognized personal transportation vehicle.

Born in 1977, the PX has become enshrined as the emblem of the classic Vespa nameplate. With two million sets of wheels in the hands of young-at-heart drivers, the Vespa PX has achieved true cult scooter status. In addition, around the world the PX truly has become the symbol of the smile-inducing Italian style and joy of living.

This beloved icon is being relaunched by Piaggio in the Canadian market in a numbered, limited edition named PX 150 Serie Canada. Starting in April, 350 of these beauties, each marked with its own number, will be available in Vespa's smoky grey at dealers around Canada.

The relaunched version of the Vespa PX incorporates new technology but has maintained its original, unique design appeal. It demonstrates post-modern, elegant, minimal styling without nostalgia. It continues the unmatched combination of practical design with reliable technical underpinnings and competitive pricing that have proven unbeatable for longer than a quarter of a century.
