Official Lexus NX thread

BMW 40k miles is 4 service intervals, not 8... so essentially you are saving 1k extra.
NX will have 10k intervals like other new Lexi.
You were also talking about X1 before, not X3... Did you get to check X1 as well?
Loaded X3 xDrive28i is 55k. That is more expensive than RX, let alone what NX will be.

I think the RX and ES have very comparable interiors.

But sure, if people expect GS or GX interior in NX, well, hah.

I expect materials and fit+finish like the IS:
A soft-touch Nuluxe section over the gauges, soft-touch plastics in the remaining upper dash, HVAC section, and upper middle portions of all doors. Of course, a padded center console arm-rest. Then hard plastics in the lower dash (like the glove box), console, and lower half of the doors beneath the arm-rest.
As for seating, Nuluxe as the standard material, and leather optional. Headliner, a velour finish like the IS, not "porous" vinyl/plastic like the CT.
NVH I expect it to be in between the IS and RX, but closer to this gen RX since the 4th Gen RX will be out in a year we can expect even better NVH among other things.
Ride comfort, I expect a touch softer than the IS, but a touch firmer than the RX. F-Sports will be firmer more like an RX F-Sport.
Wheels, I expect RAV4-like dimensions 225/65/17 or 235/55/18.
We'll see from pics in three weeks at the Geneva Autoshow (hopefully).

Just the finish on some piece of plastic could make us think that interior is on another level (better or worse), even if it may cost the same as any other finish.
For instance, Corolla EU and Auris EU cost about the same, and with 2-3 tiny small changes and different finishes that probably cost exactly the same, they made Corolla look a lot nicer inside.
Also something to point out - this will be more expensive than base Highlander, yet Highlander has nice interior... I would be happy if it has same perception of quality as Highlander, just packaged into sportier and more interesting design and pieces of leather sprinkled more on important places...

Yeah, my gut tells me it will start in the US at $34K and $38K in Canada. I'm tempted to get the Highlander for the beautiful well crafted roomy, and well-thought out interior but it's just a few inches too big overall. My RX is my limit (188 in long /74 in wide) or it won't fit in my garage .
In terms of other predictions or more like expectations, based on the design, roofline, and predicted exterior dimensions of around 179-180 in and 72.5 in wide, I foresee the NX being a 90% RAV4 in interior dimensions because of its thicker doors and lower roofline especially at the rear:
32 cu ft behind the rear seats and an overall of 67 cu ft with seats folded. (Rav4 38/ 74; RX 40/80)
Leg room, about max 42in front, and 36in rear
Headroom 39 in front 38 rear. Shoulder room 56in front / 54in rear.
Fingers crossed.

Again, I'm not complaining about my service or it's cost, but was surprised that it was included at all at BMW.
I just want this NX to blow the competition away like the IS350 did in 2006.

Thats always my issue with BMW, once you option them up with things typically found on a Lexus or in very accessible options on a Lexus they are a lot more. Take the 535...my luxury package AWD GS right at $60k. When you factor in it has upgraded leather, multi contour seats, adjustable suspension...it comes to $71,125. Sure you can get a 535 that is priced similarly to my GS...but you loose a LOT of features.
