Not my type of vehicle but i really like, it looks very futuristic. I thought the concept looked hideous but this is a huge improvement. It will definitly stand out from the usual traffic.

Ugly or not (and I agree I don't like the front and rear ends), there isn't much question that it's going to sell.

Great sign for Lexus on the pre-orders in Japan. By early October, we should see the numbers for N.A.

I don't see the NX overtaking the RX as the best seller in N.A but surpassing the ES and slotting into second, absolutely.

I just hope planned allocations to countries are not impacted by another if one has a crazy high demand. My dealer submitted the allocations for the NX a month ago, one of which is mine, so I'm still expecting mine to be delivered by early December latest and not be re-allocated to Japan's market...

I don't think the actual pricing has been released here in NA yet. I'm afraid it's going to a lot higher than expected. I thought I read that the first 300h's would be fully loaded at over 50k. I don't see that as a sales leader.

That doesn't necessarily mean it won't sell. First, the competing Lincoln MKC , though starting at 33K on base FWD versions, easily runs 40K and more with AWD and other options....and dealers can't keep them in stock. Secondly, with any hot new product, there always seem to be buyers who are willing to pay extra (sometimes more than list) to be the first one on their block to own one...and keep up with the Jonses's.
