alex on autos is completely predictable, drives the same boring roads, in the same boring way, and thinks the more words he can stuff in his 30 minute boring reviews, the better. i gave up because i already know what he's going to say.

I just appreciate how detailed Alex is in his reviews. The 3x subscribers prefer the entertainment value provided by Straight Pipes, doesn't necessarily make them a true reviewer in my eyes. I'm sure there's 50x as many subscribers who prefer to watch somebody unbox their iPhone too.

which is all fine, i was comment on their issue with infotainment where volume and mode change were shown over whole screen - it was already fixed in other vehicles other testers drove. This is why manufacturers always tell you that you are driving pre-production vehicle.

So I simply cannot believe the all-in price of the new NX450+ in Ontario Canada










Toyota really did their homework on the operating system. Glad to see a permanent AC button on the screen

Impressive fuel economy numbers . Finally all models have been updated on the EPA.

I dont understand the savings that that fueleconomy.gov calculates. How is it possible that a 3mpg avg delta between the NX250 and NX350, yields a $3,250 more in gas monies (save 500 vs spend 2750 more) while the 39mpg avg of the hybrid only saves you $1,250 but has a 11 mile per gallon delta?

Regular fuel vs premium fuel.
