Fantastic leak. Lexus have no rights to take them down as they were sourced publicly and wasn’t stolen.

Idk if this is true or not, but I read somewhere online that we were suppose to see a concept for the NX that previewed the production car. If that was true Lexus should probably just forgo that debut lol.

What a hot mess of an interior, new Outlander has better layout and looks more upscale than this. This is what they should have put in Toyotas instead.
Exterior is great improvement, it has some lines that flow quite well. I'm not a fan of cheap'oh LED projectors they keep shoving in in every headlight right now to save money.
Overall nothing revolutionary as "insiders" been preaching.

What is up with using Han's Zimmer "Time" score as a music track! The NX is no inception !

Plus, using the NX450h badge for the 2.5L plug-in just ruined what the 450h stood for in the RX and GS, a proper 3.5L v6 hybrid. Really a NX350h? Why not call it an NX300h which has been used for 2.5L hybrids in both the ES and the NX.

Lexus needs to follow their own naming standards and not make new stuff up.

Mirai looks better. There is a big chunk of plastic dash for the passenger which looks cheap. It needs a visual break like the Mirai.

while the design is evolutionary, i think it's fantastic looking. the harsh angles have been softened and it looks more like a traditional lexus than the super harsh look that lexus has been using as of late.

Thanks for sending pics. Hope they are accurate. First glad HUD will be an option. Love the NAV screen intergrated in the dash rather than sitting on top of the dash, the touchscreen and the wrap around taillights like in the UX and new IS.

It looks very clean, I like the use of the latest design language for the IS on the outside and the interior seems like a nice evolution forward.
