GLA is like CT on raised suspension and some plastic covers... not the same. NX is GLK.

Agreed. Main competitors to the NX are GLK, X3, Q5, RDX, MKC.

Yep, in fact, a GLA is a slightly revised and raised A-class (not avail in N.A.), similar to the Crosstrek XV is to the Impreza 5-door. Interior of the A, is the same as the GLA, and CLA.

To the question of how big of a success the NX will be, just a note:

according to my sales rep, waiting time for a NX300h is currently ... 6 months!!

I would call this a success, unless the production is going to other countries. It seems that orders have exceeded planifications.

EndlessRed

There had better be a NX200t available. I need a car before the year ends.

Lexus' estimate of 10% of sales to be hybrids, seemed awfully low to me. Maybe that number will be revised, soon...

adamsmith

That estimate varies depending on the country. In Spain the estimates are of 80%.

In fact, they expected 400 units sold along 2014, and they've already reached 800 units. Only hybrids, since turbo is not available here yet.

I hope you pre-ordered yours.

As for my pre-order I did back in APRIL, there's a risk I may not get it in early December but possibly into January. And my NX is the first among the first allotment for my dealer which they submitted in early August. Demand globally is that crazy high! Got this from my dealer's GM last week.

Mr Bond

It´s the same for other european countries as well , my dealer gets their next shipment of NX 300h at the end of April . I asked about 2.0T and they will get the first demo around february/march and sold cars arrive around july.

They thought that 300h would stand for at least 80% of the sales.

Trexus

Agreed that the NX 200t and NX 300h will be huge just like the RX 350 and RX 450h. I don't think Lexus will discontinue the NX 300h at all. I believe Lexus will sell more NX 300h's than RX 450h.

Lexus CTJill is discontinued. She no longer owns a CT anymore and should change her name accordingly...

EndlessRed

Well damn.

Maybe I'll get lucky. Being in LA, I'm betting a major allotment will be reserved for here. Besides, I don't believe in depositing for something I haven't test driven yet.

Nights

It's doing pretty well in Australia. We don't get the 200t till next February but if you order an NX300h now, it's for Feb/March delivery.

corradoMR2

Good luck. For the deposit, you can always bail out and get it back pending the test drive and final sales deal is to your liking.

lcneed

Yeah there will be a lot of them here with so many dealers packed together. When I bought my CT I contacted 6 of them, all located on my drive from home to work. LA is certainly a buyers market.

at Paris show, Lexus HQ's around Europe were saying how they already sold most of their yearly allocations, and for quite few countries they said that NX will double Lexus sales in the country.
