Looks good reminds me of the P O R S C H E on the back of the Macan.

Recall that in 2011 they dropped the redundant brand name plus Logo badge
to be similar to the other Luxury brands that only displayed a Logo without
the extra lettering. Had folks trying to get the lettering "replaced" under
warrantee because they must have fallen off...

Interesting, if a bit of a strange video. The interior is pretty slick. Exterior looks more chiseled. But it appears the front overhang grew. Have to wait for better pics to get an idea...

nice find.

it all looks good except the proportions on this side view... wheelbase too short + front overhang, eww.

really liking the interior though... they finally got rid of the leather shifter boot!

I like it! I noticed it said NX350 so it must have the V6.

Just a decent upgrade to make it current with technology and design trends. Nothing that would make me select this over literally any other competitor (or even certain vehicles from non luxury brands), but as usual, it will sell extremely well. Target market will eat this up!

New Turbo-4 engine seems pretty lame. If they apply it to other platforms hopefully they tune it for more power.
