Mercedes, Audi and BMW all currently sell a diesel compact CUV with a turbocharged diesel engine. But there is a luxury automobile manufacturer lurking in the shadows, looking to disrupt the German stranglehold on small fuel-sipping luxury CUVs. That company is Lexus.
X3 wins.

My read of that was as follows:

The Lexus isn't GREAT at anything, but its GOOD at everything. So it wins.

I guess a part victory?

"Jack of all trades" wins here versus "Master of some".

The IS too is in a similar winning situation over its rivals - not the fastest (3-series), not the best handling (ATS), not the most luxurious (A4), but is consistently good at everything...

Default Reviews/Press on the NX

In case you have not seen it, the May issue of MotorTrend magazine did a comparison test on compact 'luxury' SUV's, and based on the commentary, the NX was the runaway winner by a good margin. It was compared against the Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKC, Range Rover Evoque, BMW X3 (strangely, the Audi Q3 or Benz GLK were not part of the pack). Still - good press for the NX and reassuring to see I made a good choice. Now if only my car would get here!!!

IMHO, what the NX lacks is compensated for with Lexus reliability making it a winner.

Instead he talks as if the fresh looks and the hybrid system are the only things there are going for this car, though I fear that it does reflect how Lexus is currently being looked at by most of the average Europeans.

THIS is how a review should be done. (If I could only understand Russian.)
