I hope we can get panoramic roof with 2018, but we also looking other options like Q5 and GLC.
Both have panoramic roof and premium sound systems.
I loved GLC, we solid build, quiet ride and very good driving control. Driver seat extension, so you can adjust seat length is a very good option.

One big down side run flat tires, just their cost, i think MB is catching with Lexus on reliability.

My wife loved Q5, and it will be her car so its her chose. With B&O sound, runs and feels so good.

Q5 is gorgeous - my daughter just bought a 2018. We also test drove one but wound up migrating to the RX since my wife wanted something a bit bigger.

RX is an excellent car, hope Lexus has fixed all issues by now. RX-Forum loaded with complains
Q7 - all reviews as phenomenal car, but the cost is way beyond our reality .

I have yet to find an NX with the luxury package here in Florida, and I 've looked at inventory online for over a year. Very hard to find an NX with the luxury package

I'm very curious to see the difference between the Rioja Red Nuluxe interior vs the 2018 Circuit Red Nuluxe interior.

I have driven over the course of this last half year four samples of the 2017 RX350 including the one that I purchased. They all were/are smooth shifting and running and competent. If you will, Lexus-like. I have yet to find one single thing out of place with mine (8-17 production), so color me nonplussed regarding the 'issues' on the RX-Forum in so far as 2017 samples are concerned.

Every forum is loaded with complaints. Look around. My RX is terrific.

I wouldn't say the LX forum is loaded with complaints.

Well, there are some, for example ...

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lx-...omparison.html

It would do well to remember than the RX sells in excess of 20 times the number of LXs. NX much more, too. This results in much greater inputs on the boards.

Yeah, that's not actually a thread complaining a problem with the LX. Did you read it? It's about comparing the ride difference of the GX vs. LX. I'm talking about threads with multiple people having the same issue. My service advisor said they see very little issues with the LX. So if less input results in less complaints....there should be little to no complaints on the RC F and LC forum correct?

Come, come. One individual claimed that his RX450h rides much better. Others like the GX better and it is much less expensive. Again, look at the number of posts for the LX Forum. The sample size is far, far less than for the forums for Lexus' big sellers. Please note that Consumer Reports places an asterisk besides its dependability rating (Excellent) for the LX because CR has to qualify the rating due to limited data sampling size. The NX and RX are carrying the Lexus brand, sales wise. While we are viewing CR ratings, also note that the RX was given their highest rating for customer satisfaction, which is clearly a contradiction to the picture painted here by some (a relative few?). A few persistent ax grinders can leave a false general impression. Input to this forum, although lots of fun, is not a scientific sampling and is open to a great deal of hyperbole.

Happy motoring.

What you are referring to in that thread are opinions on the ride, not actual problems that multiple people are reporting. My statement that the LX is not loaded with complaints is still true whether you like it or not. I did not saying anything about the RX or NX. Although I know about the NX, I had two 2015 Luxury models...they are great vehicles. Although I do wish they offered Mark Levinson, 360 degree camera, HUD here in the United States. Happy Motoring to you as well!

I clicked on this thread to learn about the new 2018 NX instead all I get is a bunch of petty bickering. Where's the forum mod?

Back on topic please.
