Thanks for the photos. The car looks differently in a different atmosphere. I am glad you took the picture behind the fuel pump door as there were simply too many Japanese stickers and I didn't bother to take a snapshot. It says "Unleaded Premium"

Try to add it by clicking the icon with the globe and the chain. In the popup window paste the url of the youtube vide. You get this url when you are watching the vide, click Share (below the video) and the url will appear below the icons.

You may also try simply by copy-paste-ing the url in the browser...

^^^Every time I see the front of the NX in USB, my IS pops in my mind. (definitely a good thing!)

Thanks for taking the time to post the video.

I went to the launch event at Northwest Lexus and I must say I was very impressed with the NX. The NX on display was a black Japan spec F sport. I wasn't able to get any pictures as they had it up on a stage and many people were surrounding it.
As some other members were stating the seats were VERY narrow and can almost be a deal breaker for me if they don't revise them for the NA spec cars ( I was told they might be a possibility). Fit and finish wasn't that great as expected since it was a pre-production model, but knowing Lexus the production model won't have any issues.
If anyone has any questions for me about the NX I will be more than happy to answer them.

^^^I found the fit and finish to be excellent, at least on the USB F-Sport I saw tonight at Erin Park.

The NX was everything I expected from a quality, design, and space perspective. Leg room was very close to the RX's, though head room was about an inch less and rear seat width is about two or so inches narrower. Still felt a little roomier than the MKC and about the same as an X3.

I also took some measurements of the trunk, which I'll post in the specs thread here.

Hey CorradoMR2, glad you also noticed the "spike" from the wheel arch. This was one of the details I saw in Yorkdale Mall. Despite seeing so many photos of NX for a few months, this vehicle does have too many details only observed in person.

Yes, fit and finish on NX is pretty good. For the rear passengers, I find the headroom us noticeably less than that of RX. I will hit my head if I don't open the rear door far enough or I don't pay extra attention.

Yeah, that spike - wow, I never saw it all these months of pictures and videos, but did see it in person. Must be there for aerodynamics...

I agree, ingress at the rear was with a "cautionary approach". For my 9 and 10 year olds as the rear passengers 99% of the time, I'm good for a few years .

I shared some more of my observations here.
