Everything I said also still stands correct. The NX450h+ will be supply constrained, because the Toyota it's based on is also supply-constrained. Your entire opposing argument to that is "b-but wait it's not out yet!" Name me one Lexus model that has ever had higher production than its Toyota counterpart.

And no response as to my disproving of your blatantly fictional anecdote about the RAV4 Prime "at MSRP" I see lol.

Come on man, don't try pretending to change what you originally wrote just like that...
The NX 450h+ exists so it is the "highest-performing" NX available. Not the 350. Fact check that.

You can get the RAV4 Prime NOW for retail if you go on the waitlist. I told you to reach out to Longo Toyota but you out there on Autotrader playing games. Fact check that.

Look up the definition of being patient too. The Model Y must not exist to you. Or real performance vehicles like the C8 Corvette because guess what, you need to get on the waitlist and WAIT. Take that for data.

I feel sorry for you. Driving circles around...

Except it won't be available to most people as mentioned before...

I'm laughing so hard right now that I can't even find the appropriate emoji for this oxymoron of a statement.

Won't be available for you does not make it not exist. Stop lying.

Getting trounced because you are too lazy to get on the waitlist to purchase for retail? Do better.

"I don't get to buy it because I am a fool on Autotrader so it does not exist." Dis u?

That's great and all, but I'd love for you to explain to me how one can waitlist something and get it NOW as you originally wrote.... preferably without the childish personal insults, please.

So you admit you were wrong that the 450h+ actually exists. Good to know. It is important not to circulate fake news.

As for the RAV4 Prime, can you not get it for retail? Yes. Do you have to wait if you did not get on the waitlist? Yes. I admit my wording can be interpreted incorrectly and for that, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

End of the day, if you think you can just drive to any Toyota dealership to buy a RAV4 Prime for retail today, you will be laughed out the place. Don't be that guy. Put in the research and work ahead of time and get it done. Anything is possible.

Why so serious tho? You live in a state with zero availability or something? That isn't my fault... Don't take it out on me.

Where did I say that the 450h+ doesn't exist? Must be nice to make up words for others rather than taking responsibility for your own words lol.

Yes. I admit my wording can be interpreted incorrectly and for that, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Great. Had you admitted your mistake several posts ago instead of doubling down it would have saved me and others from having to read all that paradoxical nonsense.

That's literally what I told you, thanks for taking my class lol.

Dis u? The "highest performing" NX is the 350 because the NX 450h+ does not exist? Smarten up.

Where you live? Don't be scared. Not judging. Don't lie now. Just trying to help you here. Really.

Here's a fun little exercise. Combine the two sentences.

"The 'highest performing' available NX will be the NX350 because the NX450h+ will be extremely supply-constrained and dealer marked-up like the RAV4."

Pretty sure 9 out of 10 people would understand that the original post meant the above and not resort to fictional interpretations, but some fall through the cracks it seems...

They are just worse technology. No need to invent reasons for it other that germans are not great with ev tech.

NX450+ is easily the best plugin plugid on the market.

Sure there are faster ones, like q5 that goes 0-60 in 5s, but also has 19 mile range and gets 25mpg.

It is simply laughable, and if toyota did that, forum would be in uproar.

So give credit when it is due.

e.
There is no doubt that the Toyota system is the best plug in on the market. They are not even using turbos. Drawback is the high price

I recall something along this idea of the automatic. I’d have to find the advertisement

Are you familiar with out plug in brands? I ask because the new NX based on AI/GPS can decide to go full EV for, the city and then when you get on hwy it can go to hybrid mode but back to city it goes full EV.





So North of border. Lexus Canada is going to a reservation system. $1000 deposit required. Never seen Lexus do this. Deposit goes to the dealer. But is refundable.





It's a clutch pack which by definition is not a "full-time" AWD. And it's worth mentioning because those who claim that it is a full-time AWD system are deliberately spreading misinformation.
So Lexus has updated the information on the awd. Looks like full time

stupidest thing about this "review" is that it is a preproduction model, and brand new navigation - i just checked some other reviews (kirk kreifels), and their nav did not white the whole screen when changing modes for instance, i assume it is same for volume, it was just a notification on top, taking little bit of space.

We had other people say it is the best multimedia system out there (redline reviews).

I really don't consider Straight Pipes as real reviews, its more of just car entertainment. Alex on Autos is much more of what I consider a real reviewer.
