Can't compare sales like that. Things change like the competition, people's taste in cars, age and overall desirability of Lexus' offers, incentives and etc will determine sales.

Two to three years is a long time from now. Should be now or one year from now.
The NX has nowhere to go but better. The potential to modernize it and create a striking design like no other is off the charts. If I were Lexus, I'd be drawing up something totally sleek and unexpected. The NX slot is the easiest place for the brand to trump the competition and make waves. Audi kinda had the same opportunity with the new Q3, but didn't go far enough. The Q5 has the same potential, but they will likely wimp out on that too. Lexus cannot wimp out.

Maybe for Canada? and maybe in the soundbites they put out for monthly sales reports?
But the UX is outsold by the Volvo XC40 in the States, a brand that has significantly lower overall share of the luxury market than Lexus. New Q3 was on sale for maybe the last 1/3 of 2019 and nearly matched UX sales.
So, monumental??? I wouldn't put it that way, but hey, opinions are like butts, and everyone has one.

not even in europe. 
can understand the appeal of ux esp. hybrid, in other places where gas is obscenely expensive and roads and parking is VERY tight.

If it were a domestically-designed GM, Ford, or FCA product, I'd say yes, but that's not necessarily the case with Toyotas. Toyotas are not my favorite vehicles, and do have what I would consider faults, but one strong asset they have is usually getting the reliability straight from the beginning. One does not have to put up with teething problems.

There are no real appeal to the UX. It is small, cramped, slow and overpriced for what it offers. I can't imagine driving down U.S. highways with 18 wheelers or their giant Suburbans and not **** in your pants every time one of those drive by.

Creaks and rattles may be annoying, but, in most cases, they are not going to leave you stranded. Serious engine and transmission issues, though, could be another matter.
