Default Getting my 450h tomorrow!

I am picking up my 450h Executive tomorrow and am wondering from folks who have received their NX, what would you have the SA focus on in terms of the tech?

Honestly speaking I've learned more in the 3 days I've had my 450h than what they can explain to you in a day. Mine suggested I take it home and just mess around with things on my own and to come back in a week with any questions.

And don't get discouraged. There is a lot to learn on these new vehicles. Time, patience, and some club Lexus will get you rolling smoothly!

Congratulations!!

What shwag did you get or did you? I'm coming from Mercedes and they tend to give you some stuff. I'm not expecting anything, but a water bottle or something would be appreciated!

Looking forward to getting it.

Thanks for your videos @lsft My partner has a YouTube channel and I can appreciate the time it takes to do these videos.

Schwag? We got two cheap key rings and one of those throw away shopping bags with the dealer's name on them. I'm just glad they didn't put a sticker on the back of the car.

This is not my first Lexus and I didn't get anything this round. I did get key rings the last few times and a cap.

Yesterday was a busy day. We finalized all the paperwork and picked up the 450h while I had my FJ Cruiser serviced. The buying experience was top notch and in many ways better than Mercedes. The NX is very relaxing to drive and can almost drive itself. I'm not going to have much of a chance over the long weekend to configure it, but will hopefully get sometime to watch a few minutes of those videos posted above. Thanks @Randyp1234

I really like what was done to the wheels! How did you accomplish that?

Kusala….interesting…Must be a “Canada thing!” I too have the 450h….in the Cloudburst. Ours are a bit drab compared to yours.
