Weird they chose Geneva to debut RC F-Sport trim instead of NX which would be their best seller in Europe alongside CT.

yes, this is very strange... RX is best selling vehicle in Europe for Lexus, despite prices being above GS.

With RC being slated for "fall" (USA) and "end of the year" (Europe), I dont see how NX could come earlier than RC since it hasnt been even introduced yet.

Same here, almost three years waiting for a compact Lexus SUV. I guess we'll have to wait another 6 weeks for a reveal unless Lexus still surprises us this week.

I am thinking it might get revealed in Beijing then, it is big auto show... it is probably huge market for Lexus... 4/20 press days.

It is far bigger show than New York, smaller only than Detroit and Frankfurt.

The LF-NX Concept, presented last year in Frankfurt, showed the Lexus design direction for a mid-size crossover, positioned below our RX.

Today I can confirm that Lexus will reveal this unique crossover in less than 50 days. The world premiere will take place on April 20, at the Beijing Motor Show. The new car will be called the Lexus NX.

I can’t tell you how excited we are about this new car! The new NX will bring a significant boost to Lexus’ presence in Europe. It’s the right car in the right segment, and with a breathtaking design!

Expect the vast majority of NX to be turbo 4. A handful will be hybrid but it will be rare, they couldn't get the pricing right (last meeting I heard)

Forget Hybrid, give us 240+hp Turbo 4.
