It's designed by a woman for women. That's the purpose of the little mirror in the center console. Almost every NX we sell is to a woman. The ladies love it.

The small handful of guys who bought it for themselves got the F Sport model. The F Sport is actually pretty aggressive looking and seems to be well liked.

I don't see what's wrong with a chick magnet?

If any of y'all are concerned about the perception of your masculinity based upon the car you drive...then you are lacking your masculinity.

I don't either. The F Sport model is aggressive enough for the guys while still attracting attention from the ladies.

It has two modes. Eco and Reg. mode for women. Then set to sport mode and shift into manual shifting. Use only the paddle shifters and then your in man mode.

You know I was actually discussing this with my wife earlier tonight. I mentioned that I see a lot more women driving NX's, but not as much men. My wife was in love with the car and for a couple of years and kept telling me that it would be her next car when she upgrades from the CT. So fast forward to earlier this month, we went in to take a look at a pre owned NX F-sport and test drove a demo NX too. She liked it until I made the mistake of telling her to drive to RX. So she is the proud owner of a 17' RX, and she really enjoys it. The funny part is that I decided I wanted to trade in my 15' RX for a 17' NX F-sport. So she went in really wanting the NX, and getting the RX. I went in having a RX and getting an NX. Love both cars and miss my RX at times, but new car means new parts to get!!! So looking forward to the journey with my NX.

Black is the manly model all other colors are cross gender.

I traded in a 2014 Lexus IS 250 AWD for my 2017 200t FWD because I wanted something a bit bigger with more cargo room. I love the NX so far. I wish I could have also kept the IS 250 because it was a beautiful and amazing car, great for city living, but I didn't need two cars. I don't see many NXs on the road. When I do, the drivers are usually older than me, maybe a few more women than men, but I don't care. Being single, I didn't want a large suv, so I opted for the NX because I trust Lexus more than other car brands. It's a very practical and comfortable car.

Aren't pretty much all of these small econo-boxes generally viewed as "chick cars"?
The only exceptions I can maybe see with small cars are the fire-breathing AMG/M/S cars from Germany.

I've driven many NX and believe me, you're probably 100X better off getting the new CRV. Aside from the NX having a tiny bit more pep, the CRV is a much better vehicle at a small fraction of the cost.

Don't expect the NX to feel, drive, or have the ride quality of a Lexus. If you took the badges off and told me it was a base model Nissan, I would totally believe it. Nothing Lexus about it besides the emblems and front grille.

I have no idea how that car is selling at all. RX I understand completely. NX...NO.

After several RX since 1999, I loved the NX from the start. Almost 3 years now, loving 2016 Fsport NX more and more every time I drive it.
There is no way i would go from Lexus to a Honda.....justs for the appearance if nothing else.
Purchased NX because it did not drive like a Lexus, lots more fun.

If I want a silky smooth drive, I drive our 2017 Fsport RX, but prefer NX as a daily driver,

I don't care what car I drive. I don't look at it as a man's/woman's car. I WILL note however that I think Lexus/Toyota feel that the NX is more geared towards a woman and it's very evident with that little pointless mirror in the center console... Seriously. One of the dumbest things I've seen and they could have made that a much better storage area but instead choose to make it a quick pull out mirror... hmmmm that screams a certain gender honestly to me.

My wife loves her Black 2018 NX 300 luxury. But I don't know that I'd consider it a woman's suv. I would say that you do see a lot of women in them.
But then again, most suv's I see are driven by women.+
Where I live in Southern Indiana, most guys drive pick up trucks. l Including myself. lol
I drive a 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 because a truck works better for me. It's a great truck, but her NX is way more comfortable to drive.
