Eh, still looks like a good way to pay $10-15k too much for a Rav4. BTW the Rav4 has more space in the cargo hold and rear seat area. Granted you get more horsepower and style with the Lexus.
Still for about 35-40k, I'd much rather have a larger 4Runner or Highlander with less options.
If style, interior appointments, and prestige are paramount, then go for the Lexus. I just think it is a **** poor value considering your other options within the Toyota family for utility vehicles.

Congrats! I'm not sure how much you'll love taking acre of the black, but I wish ya luck!
This vehicle is not a Rav 4. The basic platform is shared with the Rav 4, but it is basically an entirely different vehicle.
Unless you don't want a larger 4Runner or Highlander. Seeing that he traded a larger, more expensive RX for this NX...he clearly wanted a smaller vehicle...not a larger vehicle. Not everybody wants or needs a big clumsy BOF vehicle like the 4Runner, or a big 3 row crossover like the Highlander.
Options are good, choices are good. Just because a certain vehicle doesn't fit the criteria that would work for you doesn't mean it won't work for somebody. You mentioned the 4 Runner and the Highlander, two vehicles I would never even consider purchasing. Doesn't mean people don't purchase them. The compact luxury SUV market is huge, and the NX is priced well within that segment...so I'm not sure how its a "**** poor value"...
Using that logic, why would anybody purchase an IS when they could have a larger ES? or a Toyota Avalon for the same money? Because the IS delivers a better driving experience, its more intimate, and its more stylish. Same is true of an NX vs a Highlander
