I'm not understanding why the pound/dollar conversion won't work. One pound is $1.64 at today's exchange rate. So it seemed to me that a straight-across comparison would mean that 30,000 pounds would equal $49,200. As for power plant, I'd read earlier that Lexus would drop the 200hp TCH drive train into the hybrid NX crossover -- that's the same one that's in the ES hybrid sedan, which would make sense for the U.S. market.
But re. the British market, this is what the article in a previous post said: "sales will kick off with the NX 300h, which will use the 2.5-litre four-cylinder 178bhp hybrid drivetrain from the IS." I don't know what IS hybrid they're talking about because there is no IS hybrid sedan here.

Ok, the Rav4 in the UK sells for £22,595. That would be $37,102 USD. But the Rav4 is only $23,550 in the US.

Need another example. The Pruis in the UK is £21,845. That would be $35,871 USD. But the Prius starts at $24,200 here in the US.

Still don't believe me? Alright.
The RX450h in the UK is £44,495. That would be $73,063 USD. And we all know that RX450h doesn't start anywhere near that high in the US. Try $46,410 instead.

The 50K price isn't the problem. It's the 50K price and getting hard plastic surfaces everywhere like the ES. $50K gets you a 2014 GX with a V8 now. Why doesn't this motor make 270hp in base trim and 300hp in F-Sport AWD? Weren't these motors supposed to leap frog the competition? I'm hoping to be surprised with a GS level interior and a 300hp F-Sport AWD option at around 50K. Hey, price it at 55K, just don't give me a bla interior and a bla motor just to keep the price at 42K.

GX seems like much better choice at $50k

If it is optioned like the X1/X3 and Q1/Q3 the it has to be priced like them too? OK, BMW X1 has a 240hp motor and I'm sure a great interior for a max price of 48K. What's Lexus including for the other 2K+? X3 tops out at 56K and it has the 300hp turbo inline 6. I just want something more for more money. I guess I will be disappointed. I know, I know, I should maybe look at another brand. Is BMW now the value play?

pruis only has a 1.8. why is there a $11k price differences between UK and US price? maybe because the cost of manufacturing is higher in other parts of the world.....

Wow...lots of "forecasting" happening in this thread. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Lexus is obviously capable of positioning the NX competitively in terms of price, power and features vs. it's competitive set and existing lineup. I am most excited to learn more about the 2.0T engine and hope Lexus releases full specs on it at the NX's unveiling.
