from my side i have no problem with original case. And cameras bumping. It works fine.

To OP @anoop I am a car nut and I thoroughly research cars. I have been trying to buy an NX since December 2019. I am very picky about colors and options. My first Lexus dealer canceled my order after 4 months, my second dealer contacted me last week and I am allocated a specific car. I am getting a fully loaded ( actually EVERY option except power-folding and heated rears seats which haven't been included on any NX) at a cost of $56K. The color is Redline with a Palomino interior.

@Peterun But you said you could tell no difference between stock radio and ML ...so why get ML As a true audiophile I had to have the ML; the main reason I am getting 350h ( yes, I finally got allocated after my first Lexus dealer canceled my order after 4 months). To

The 450h+ is awesome and I WOULD have purchased it except for the features that it lacks and the fact it only gets 36 mpg non EV:

Features available on 350h and not available on 450h+:
#1 Digital rearview mirror
#2. Power back seats
#3. Heated back seats
#4. Pano roof
#5. ML audio system
#6. Advanced parking
#7. Leather seats (only Nuluxe with F-Sport)
#8. Cold Area package

The 2nd generation NX ( 2022 and newer) has to be Lexus's best car yet, even exceeding the ES.

Peace to All

YMMV,

what is the cold area package ?

you have to lock the hatch and move away so it colses safely.

Came across this video comparing build quality.

I got my 350h premium with 14 inch screen and 18 inch wheels back in late March. I ordered about 3 months before and it came from Japan.
I am very happy with mine. Is perfect for me as a moderate to light footed driver. Getting a smooth, stable quiet ride and averaging 43.5 mpg since I got it new. Would buy it again for sure but with heads up display

Default I am still waiting and it has been over 10 months already...

Given the wait (and I still don't have the car yet), I don't know if I would want to do this again. Let's hope that the moment I get the car would prove to me that this is all worth it.

When I put my deposit in August 2021, I was told expect Feb 2022. When the order was confirmed in early Nov 2021, I was told Feb-May 2022. When I checked in Feb 2022, the answer became "Not sure". The recent updates are "we will update you when we get an update".

Interesting. My local dealer won’t take a deposit on a car unless it’s been allocated. Is that the same at your dealer or did they just take a deposit so you have first dibs on it when they get an allocation? Did you agree on price?

​​​​It's the latter where I get first dibs when they have the allocation. The order was submitted to Lexus a long time ago. Price was confirmed, but not the financing. Things work differently here in Canada I suppose.

Oh you’re in Canada. That makes sense with the cratering loonie. Nobody wants those. You should offer to pay in real money like US dollars.

Just kidding.

Did you pay over sticker price? How far are you getting on EV? What part of country are you located?
