Default Lexus NX

Saw few of them in person. I liked the look of it enough to think about trading in my IS350. But then I saw its 0-60mph spec .

Available in both in inline 4 by-turbo or hybrid.

Maybe too boring?

I think a thread came up a little while back. Issue with the NX is the nose had to grow for US crash standards and it kills the look of the vehicle for me. Everything else about it is nice for a small SUV.

Do you mean the US version of this car is different than the ones else where? I saw them in S. Korea where I was vacationing. Hmmm...maybe I should have second look at a local dealership? I already know that the US versions won't have HUD option Why do they do this to us?

The hyper aggressive front end looks better on a smaller sports car than a larger SUV for me. It just looks too angry and too busy.

The US F sports look much better than the non-F sports. Just get the F sport. I finally saw one in person recently and thought it was a good looking small SUV.

I think it looks kind of cool and is probably what my sister would be interested in, and maybe I am nuts but the price seems a few thousand too high. $41k for a small AWD crossover before options? No thanks.

I'd just buy the "ghetto" Mazda CX5, lose .6 seconds in my sixty time, and pocket $10-12k.

Looks like they did something to the bottom of the front bumper in the US version.

Yep...looks like a piece of poo that was squeezed through an anus.

Looks are subjective, I will agree that the spindle grill from Lexus is a love it or hate it design.
