i agree with you on the black fender liner.. it is quite ugly. not even sure if thats painted or plastic? interior is pretty nice, though i don't like the setup around the nav screen. it looks like it would be very hard to clean.

its interesting you pointed that out.. its suppose to be a crossover compact suv..i thought this was going to have the high profile of the bmw x1, mini countryman, or toyota venza, but i'm suprised at how high it sits.. well its not that high, just about regular suv height. maybe like the IS, its misperceived in pictures and we need to see it in person.

Really? I think we only have 2 different RX450h versions here.

1, Non-F-sport (Business, comfort and exacutive)
2, F-sport

Maybe they are for different market? EU get the sporty looking one and NA get the blend looking one.

I also think its a little ugly, the front I like and the interior is nice and Iove the fact that it has a turbo hopefully US will get it meaning they may add it to other models crossing my fingers.

I still dislike that add-on nav screen and the shapeless interior door panels, but wow...the rest of this interior is really stellar

Don't feel like going through the whole buying a new car process again.

I've sat in the evoque. It only looks nice through the window. But inside there to too much flimsy material and nothing is assembled solidly, gaps everywhere. Not to mention the cheap cheap headliner.

Guys be open minded... our 3iS FSport is also super daring in design.. this is practically our car just in SUV form. I love being different, I love super sharp lines and I love being untraditional. Think out side the box you guys.. Especially those of you who have the new 3iS and GS. When your car first came out and still today Im sure that an abundant amount of other brand owners dislike our cars.. because their taste are not tuned into new trendy styling. Lexus is the pursuit of perfection and releasing daring never before seen cars that can't be mistaken. Go LEXUS PPL!!!

from seeing the picture, things i like about the car is the front grille, front lights (something about the color of the light really makes it stand out) and last but not least is the interior (damn how i wish my just bought lexus is250f has black interior with red stitches instead of white) i guess the red stitching on black interior will be an option in the near future.

however, best looking suv imo still goes to :

LMAO! you like the front and interior, thats pretty much the entire car minus the rear. i like the rear, i just don't get why the put a black plastic cover around the rear lights.. just plain boo!!!

you said it well brother.. i think most of us were taken away from the IS when it first came out. i know i was!!!!! it wasn't until i started looking at it more and more and was hooked, i thought hmm.. 335i, s4, c350... these cars just don't have the same ummfffff and sex appeal the IS does. you know it too especially when you;re driving down street and ppl do a double take or a 5+ second stare lol. i think the NX might go down the same route.

i do like that red with the black near the seat side bolster. i don't quite like how the back is completely black and not red, though i can understand from a logical perspective if one has kids and the kick the back seat constantly, it would be easier to hide marks.

This is really cool. I dig it. Looks a bit tight in the back seat but it is a compact ute.

I like the interior of the NX and see some resemblance to the evoque. Not completely sold on the IS type headlights and the black trim. Think this will sell if priced right.

I've sat in the evoque too and have a much different opinion. The pure plus, pure premium or autobiography all have upgraded materials over the base car.

it has larger wheelbase than Rav4, so it should have similar space.

100% agreed. breaks up the 'black cave' look

It would be nice if they had something, or someone, next to the vehicle to give us a perspective of the size.
