The pursuit of F
Thread Starter
Well, i am trying to follow the new Lexus NX and following this thread, its sounding more dissapointing as I already have a RAV4 and if this NX is just a glorified RAV4 then, I would probably look at the new RX whenever that is released or go with a BMW X3 or something.
I read that its supposed to be released in the UK in october, but will the U.S. get an early release. When are they going to officially announce?

N.America release is slated for November, but nothing official yet, just insider info so far. What is unclear is whether both the 200t and 300h variants will be released at the same time, or just one versus the other. It's possible the 300h will come first followed by a 200t likely to wear the F-Sport badge months later to keep the interest going...

I'd say the CT is too small for the majority of buyers. Otherwise why isn't it flying off dealers lots? I did buy a CT and wanted to love it but after a month I took it back to the dealer and traded up to an RX. I'm 6-1" and getting in and out of the CT was a chore especially after owning a SUV for the last 10 years. . I'm hoping the NX will have much better in and out access among other things.

With that much money, you may want to throw in some more and grab an IS.
Again, the NX is great, but not enough for people to buy. People like me, who have RX already, roomier, 275hp NA, also comfy.
Or people with RAV-4. The Rav used to have V6 but since Toyota is going to produce NX, the Rav got down graded to only I4. I wouldnt trade my V6 Rav for an NX...
Unless i was a new buyer who never had any of those above, I would pick NX. Otherwise...why NX ? I seriously doubt with that height, and heavy body, the NX feels any sportier than a Rav-4 or Rx F

The CT is having a hard time selling due to the power train. It is pretty unimpressive to have just 145 hp or so, and 10 seconds to 60 mph.

You wouldnt trade 2006 Rav4 V6 for NX?

Seeing that none of us have really seen a picture of an NX, really seen pricing, and certainly not driven one...I don't see how anyone can say it is or is not worth buying lol

I do hope i am wrong, and i do know rav4 and rx are different. But i also hear rumor saying Nx is built on Rav4 chasis.
Didnt some body said Nx200t will only net in 275 hp ? Isnt that Rav4 v6 territory ?
And Rav 4 V6 last year was 2012 :-D
