I'm a fan. The interior, although not 100% perfect to my eyes, is a very nice improvement over the current gen. This will sell well.

Of course the Mirai looks better, it was supposed to be the GS which costs substantially more than the NX.

The Dashboard looks like an outdated design from 2013 or something with Toyota's layout. They could have made it better for a luxury car.

Probably the designer is not up to date with the current styling or comparing it with a competitor outside of Japan. And their underlings couldn't refuse or give more insight lol

Exterior is ok

To its credit, I'd take that interior over the recent tacky screenfest of the new Mercedes C and S-Class.

Minimalist interior designs. All variations of what Tesla has popularized.

Also, it's not like the previous NX screamed top notch luxury either.

Overall, I'm okay with it, but would welcome some small improvements.

Whatever kind of glossy material is on the door panels has a very unique and cool pattern to it. I like the geometric shapes in it.

I just hope that the North American model won't have the "overbite" front end.

Well it doesn't have to looks exactly similar with Tesla. There are many variety of good minimalist styling. A nice cosmetic touch up surely will help for this one, it's screaming Toyota's layout for me.

Maybe I have to see this one in different color

Lol! Forgot all about that! I legit tuned that design feature out. Just awful. I do pray they found a way to design around that.

I just realized that what I thought was the engine start/power button is the new drive mode selector. Glad to see an "S+" on it so I hope that makes it to NA too.

Anytime! I'm guessing this is you?

I’m sure Lexus will sell a bunch of these.

It looks much better designed than current NX and has a touchscreen. Still FWD based - when will Lexus learn?

The drivetrain is already very well reviewed - Lexus will have to massively screw this up not to sell a ton.

IMO it's unrealistic to expect anything but FWD-based on the NX/RX though.
