Maybe move this to the RX forum? I love the new RX design and I went into take a test drive. I love the interior design as well, however i felt that it was too big for me (single 30's male, 1 GF, stable career, no kids, no pets, etc.). Test drove the F-Sport model, but it still felt like an RX (my family has had 2) in terms of handling and top-heavyness. So I opted to test the NX and it "fit me like a glove," not to mention that it was $5000 less than the RX.

Default The size.

That happened to me as well. I tested drive both NX F and RX F and liked both of them. I got NX cause of the size. I am mid 20s with one gf. We never use the back row at all, getting a RX will be a waste for me for now.

Why is posted in the NX forum? I've moved on from an RX. The NX is the perfect size for my needs.

Size was the factor for us too. We had two previous RXs but the last one was about too big. The new one is definitely too big. I am mid 50s with wife and no kids. RX is a great vehicle but they are definitely targeting a different audience now. The NX is also lower to the ground so ingress/egress is easier. We have enjoyed the smaller size. Plus the grill isn't so overpowering as it is on the RX.
