It looks like it could be a Vespa, but it doesn't resemble any of the 2010 models out.
I thought it may be a Buddy, but it doesn't look like any of them either.
Any guesses?

You both beat me to it. I had been meaning to post this pic, because I got the catalog in the mail. I just kept forgetting. Scooter Bug is right; it's an ET.

The ET is the forerunner of the LX. You can usually tell the difference between the two by the mirrors. It's an immediate give away.

Oval headlight's the clincher for me when spotting the difference - wouldn't be so easy to change that out!
(Unfortunately I'm unable to comment on the pic since it ain't showing up for me at work.) |

Funny, my first scoot was an ET4 and the first thing that grabs my attention are the front turn signals. Instantly recognizable as an ET to me....then the headlamp then the mirrors. I am left-handed so maybe I observe bottom-up instead of top-down.
Funny also that the little ET is starting to look retro having been gone awhile. |

So now I can concur - it's an ET4. ![]() |

The huge clouds of blue smoke are the giveaway for the ET2. Maybe I'm just seeing poorly maintained ET2s around here, but there are four or five I keep crossing paths with in my neighborhood.

ET2 is a 2 stroke which has more smoke than a ET4. I'd love to have an ET2 but alas i don't think we have any here

I think it's an et2. I believe you can see enough of the transmission cover that you'd see the clutch cap if it was an et4. Hard to be sure though.
