Nice overall design! The sharp and angular lines play well together. Love the fact they went back to a traditional vertical center stack dash. There is no doubt in my mind this CUV will sell very well. It has all the modern touches and all the latest Lexus flavor dailed in. It will also be interesting to see how much (or not) the RX morphs with NX styling.

Some "shame on you Lexus" include the featureless interior front door panels, the homely and feminine F-Sport Hyundai Sonata rims, the tiny Rav4 tires, the cheap black trim above the wheels, the cheap black plastic below the rear bumper, the obnoxious anteater front grille, and the massive front overhang.

Tires are a lil small and body colored wheel arch flares would be better, but everything else looks great. As long as it sells, its worth it.

I like everything about the NX, except those terrible rims.

I love those triple L-shaped LEDs, so distinctive from the rest!

I love the design, looks like a mini-X6. Not to fond of wheel fender mud guard trim or wheels, other than that I'm looking forward to seeing the U.S. Production model

Everything is great EXCEPT the ugly, intrusive "add on" navigation screen. I really hate this trend to iPads stuck to the dash and now Lexus is doing it too!

I hope we get to see more detailed pics of the Hybrid version. I'm not liking all the black/smoked trim on the F-sport. It does look better to me in silver than white though.

The Black side view mirrors stick out like sore thumbs. The hybrid looks like it has a combo color corodinated/black bottom version.

I'm hating the tacked on i-pad look. Or should I say the Garmin on a suction cup look? The rubberized black wheel well clads.-ugh, so 90's. They should have left this to an aftermarket tack on.

What are the spaces on the left and right of the analog clock? Some sort of indicators? They are too small to pick up any detail.

If I can get over some of the details I know I like the form. I'm thinking this will look much better in person. So now we wait til the end of the year to see the real thing.
