Default What color?

Thinking of getting an NX, I have a white RAV4 now. I love white, but not sure I want another white car, I've had 4 now. The atomic silver is nice, but it seems like everyone has that color.

I work for Toyota so an associate lease is one of our benefits. So I get to order a new car every 3-4 years. Anyway, I'm thinking of an NX this time, maybe red with cream interior.

I'm a big fan of the ultra sonic blue f sport with the black on black interior. Or the orange color.

That blue is nice but it's only available on the sport model, I'm getting the regular.

There is a blue vortex metallic available in non f sport versions. I haven't seen many of those running around.

Yeah, don't really like the blue in the NX regular. I was actually going to get another RAV but couldn't decide on a color...not crazy about Toyota's colors, and I didn't want to get another white RAV. Was thinking about the red RAV but not crazy about that color either. Then I was sitting at work and someone pulled into the parking lot with the red NX, it looked so pretty in the sun! So that's my top choice for now.

We have the red with creme interior and really enjoy it (when clean) but it really shows the dirt.

Back side view!
AS in the drive way Brand new!
Well, I've had the blue vortex metallic in the base model NX & liked it a lot BECAUSE nobody had that color in C/S! I didn't care for the ultra sonic blue in the F
sport model, (Sorry handiguy & others w/ USB's!) but when I saw the Atomic Silver one in the F sport, it was like WOW! I didn't care how many other people had it!
It is so dynamic & gorgeous & can see why so many do love it! I have it w/ the Rojia Red / black interior & the blacked out background wheels & think it's one of the most
beautiful vehicles I've ever owned, & I've had many! (NOT bragging, just a fact!) The red that Ward has is also nice for the base model. Not many of those around in
my area, so it maybe special for you. Remember, it's what YOU want, not what others think!

Ward6096 that red is pretty! But now I'm worried about keeping it clean! That is why I like white, to me white always looks good and clean (even if it's not).

NXblue...you have 2 NX's? That Atomic Silver is really nice, very sharp! Problem is I can't get the red interior on the regular model, which I really like. I have all black interior in my RAV now and hate it. And like I said, seems like everyone has that color.

Hadiguy05...you said "or the orange color"....what color is that? Are you talking about the kind of brown rust color (not a very good way to describe, but you know what I mean)? I haven't seen any in that color in person.

Yeah, I looked it up in the brochure. I don't think that color is offered to us as associates. Have you ever seen it in person?

Yes, I saw it on an RC F-sport and it was very sharp. I don't think it's available for the NX though. Never seen it on one anyway but I'll bet it would look great on the NX.

Molten pearl is available on the F-sport in the US. Very few dealers stock them

Toymom, I'd be happy with MRM and creme interior. Unique combo not often seen in the Lexus lineup, let alone on an NX (or RX).

I was going to order the molten pearl from my dealer until the owner of the dealership sold me his car (USB). He gets a new one several times a year and I felt the the cost/benefit of having what I wanted new vs what I got and very satisfied with lead me to not buy a new orange one.
