I cant personally decide whether to wait for the new RX or get an NX. The NX is nice but I feel as if its a touch too small and im guessing the new RX is going to be a masterpiece. The NX's interior seems a bit too unfinished, cant seem to get on with the masses of space in the centre console and the screen which isn't in the dash like the RX

The seat seems to be quite far back. In my RX I drive with my seat in line with the B pillar and im 6 ft 1 so it may just be an illusion. It definitely looks about the same size as the Q5 though in terms of rear space.

I would say the chance of the RX having a Nav screen out of the dash is decent ... Seems to be the trend in the industry. I do agree I think the new RX will hit the sweet spot for most ... Likely will be larger and less down the middle due to needing to appeal to a "younger" demographic.

I share your concerns about the NX's size and feeling a but too unfinished. I'm worried it will feel not quite luxury enough.

RX will likely get similar treatmeant to NX, it is latest design afterall... Also, Rav4 is very spacious in the back (more so than Q5) and IMHO NX interior design is way superior to RX. I never could get myself to get RX because I never felt it was as luxurious as Lexus RWD offerings... on the other side, NX is really well done so far.

I think what gets me most is those little 'Lexus' engraved buttons on the leather/NuLuxe along the side of the center console. Details

I'll be very interested in having a look once it arrives in showrooms.

I'm not quite sure about what you mean with the NX interior. It actually looks more luxurious to me as it clearly has more soft touch surfaces and actual metal rather than moulded plastic in the RX. We love our RX450h, but to me the NX has a nicer interior, at least in pictures.

Obviously the NX is going to have a more recent design inside because technically the interior of the NX is 5 years newer.
I still think the updated RX when it comes out will kick ***! BUT that depends on when it comes out and obviously, im still going to see the NX in person next year in March when the 200t lands!

^^^ I can see rayaans point of view on questioning some of the details. For me, as an RX owner, I like the current RX dash but in pics, the NX's has more going on in a positive way making the RX dash look plain in comparison. Of course, this is 5 years later and an unfair comparison to the RX. I can see how the different textures, materials, colors/finishes, and switchgear, do appeal to me, but not to some as it may look busy.

The car reminds me of a Kia Sportage :

Technically not pics, but a video of rare Obsidian. Looks menacing to say the least. Possibly my favorite color on the NX F-Sport as all the black trim integrates really well.

^^^ The white is called Eminent White (or Sonic Quartz):
Also, want to show the three "grays" which can sometime be confused among each other. So hopefully this clears this up. Note that the lighting/angle also changes colors a bit, but hopefully one "gets the picture".
Atomic Silver is this - has a hint of beige:
And showing Silver Lining Metallic as it's close, but is pure silver:
And showing Nebula Gray Pearl (darker) to show the distinction:

I checked out Atomic Silver on an IS in person and really liked it for the most part but am concerned by the hint of beige/gold that especially seems to show later in the day. Decisions, decisions ...
