On another note, the article does mention AVS but it seems that there is no Sport+ mode. Did he actually drive a NX with F-Sport suspension and not the F-Sport AVS? Look forward to an article which talks about driving dynamics of Sport+ mode in F-Sport NX.

The pursuit of F
+1000! I'm anxious to a review on AVS . None found so far. Even those from Whistler where the NXs were all US-spec vehicles and don't have AVS.

It does not really matter if it has AVS or not, it will get automatically discounted as worse, british mags are really bad when it comes to this... Autoexpress review of IS300h claimed that is has no driver engagement and that 300h powertrain gets worse MPG than diesels in real life, then same magazine in next issue (next week or 2) run their MPG challenge on this class and IS300h came out as more frugal than any diesel in the class.
Real german mags are nowhere as bad, such as Autobild or AMS, but the usually do always find various reasons for BMW/Audi/MB win over foreign vehicles.

Reviews will come close to the car going on sale, with production vehicles being giving to journalists for few days to do as they please.

Surprisingly close. I would have thought the hybrid would have been a second slower at least.
This helps confirm my interest more in the hybrid than a turbo high pressure fuel injected engine. I think the 200t could be a problem down the road as the mileage racks up no matter how much Lexus says they've tested.

^^^ Surprised with the 300h's better-than-claimed 0-60. However, take these two videos with a grain of salt since, 1. they were in Whistler, BC in higher-than-sea-level elevations; and 2. you don't see how level the road is as they just show the gauges - the 200t could have been on a slightly upwards inclined road while the 300h downwards.
