Looks outdated already. Last gen looks better.

What do you mean out of proportion?

This gen NX is a huge improvement from the last gen inside and out...infotainment alone is a giant step forward...material quality and design are all improved too.

I can't see how this looks better than the new interior:

Perhaps the clock? I can't see it other than preference for physical controls, it doesn't look good though

The right edge is trapezoidal; but I think that looks good.

So I'm in the Pocanos, and you wanna see crazy tolls? I went up through PA but the alternate route is up 95 and through Philly, check out what that route would cost in tolls....150 miles...

Thats the total of the tolls for that route, so spread out over the 150 miles. The route I took had no tolls. But tolls up and down that 95 corridor are insane. I blame a lot of peoples tolerance for it on EZPass, people don't realize what they spend. If they had to fork out $25 in paper money for tolls they would realize...

I actually adore that interior on the NX. The center console stayed "true" to the design of the entire vehicle. The metal trimmings looked more unique to me.

Also the other pic is the RX interior, not the NX. Case in point.

Does that include the EZ Pass "express" lanes north of Baltimore, which probably is only a time saver in real rush hour traffic? That concept of paying to avoid traffic is something that I'm surprised gets no pushback.

And the Route 200 tolls?

Is that MB OEM map? That's nice. Is it an option too?

ha ha so true. All I see is the email that tells me my account has been replenished. I think I looked at my statement for the first time in 10 years last week. I wanted to check if I got a toll booth violation.

I just mapped out from my office in the Philly 'burbs, just off I-476, to Gaithersburg, MD -- tolls are $8.65; but without the Route 200 leg, it's only $7.00. It would be another $14.90 up the PA Turnpike NE Extension for the full length from the East-West Turnpike all the way to Clark's Summit. I'm not sure if those are EZ Pass rates. So the biggest chunk of the toll isn't on 95 - it's the PA Turnpike.

I can beat that. The closest Tollway to my home is IL-390. It has a total length of 9.8 miles, and 7 toll plazas (all open-road tolling). Cost to drive the entire length in a car or on a motorcycle is $2.30 with a transponder, or $4.60 if you pay online. $12.30 for a large truck with a transponder, $18.65 without.
