look at all those missing options to the left of the steering wheel on the F-Sport vs the Hybrid. Lexus do not screw us on features.

The second photo exhibits the F sport appearance package. You can also see it in the wheel design.

Looks good, looks like Lexus will have another winner in their hands. The RX for 2016 is going to have step it up! I could see these eating the competition if priced competitively.

Don't worry F-Sport will have those as well, at least in EU You get more buttons down there if you opt for AWD version.

I certainly can't see why the BMW X3 would be preferable to this. Getting this instead would be a no-brainer for me.

Sure do. I just checked and the X3 does have a longer wheelbase... over 110". Nevertheless, I think more than enough customers are going to make the NX a huge success.

Yeah pretty much I don't like the travel from rear panel to rear looks to high rear is a bold move though.

it is unlikely that X3 has more leg room in the back... Q5 has similar specs in legroom to Rav4 but in reality when you sit, Rav4 has more space.

Both have much larger wheelbase but use it less... i guess similar to how IS/GS have huge wheelbase but not much space.

Thanks. We're actually at the 4th Gen for the Rav4 but I figure that's what you meant. If we look at the LF-Xh concept which became Gen 3 RX, it had a longer wheelbase than the actual prod vehicle so if history repeats itself, I doubt the new NX will have a 106.3 in wheelbase but the smaller RAV4's. But all theories right now and hopefully someone can eventually post the official specs.

LF-Xh
Wheelbase: 112.2 in

3RX:
Wheelbase: 107.9 in

I actually think the NX has a more masculine appeal than the RX.
Especially in F-Sport trim.
