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?
I am not sure why would you expect BMW to have better interior than Lexus.

You mentioned the competition and I just looked at the local BMW dealership inventory for engine and pricing comparison. Styling is subjective. (BMW is not me) The interior reads like they have nice materials, but might not as I have never been in an X1 nor X3. I know GS350 has great interior materials compared to both my cars and I would gladly pay extra for those finishes in a different product like the NX. I actually am not interested in any other brand, but have been told I should due to my frustration with not seeing new product in the Lexus showroom. I have been close to deciding to just get the new IS350 F-sport awd, but the motor and trans is the same as the one in my 2006. Do I buy the same drivetrain and then in a year regret not waiting for the new products that are coming?

GS interior would go on something on more expensive than RX, and I guess thats what GX is and yes it has nice interior. So, if you are into nice interiors, GS sounds like a great choice.
X1 has worse interior than CT200h.

Why cant lexus just make a hot Hatch instead ? Say the CT can be way more interesting....beef it up. I dont want to own an RX and then a Steroid Rav4....
It is totally wrong.
Please Lexus...make one CT-F with 350 hp...hybrid....sport suspensions....i know you can.

Well, i am trying to follow the new Lexus NX and following this thread, its sounding more dissapointing as I already have a RAV4 and if this NX is just a glorified RAV4 then, I would probably look at the new RX whenever that is released or go with a BMW X3 or something.
Lexus definitely needs to not only make this right design wise but also in terms of power and handling.
I read that its supposed to be released in the UK in october, but will the U.S. get an early release. When are they going to officially announce?

NX is built on Rav-4 Chasis.
Yet different power train, but still...handling...big SUV, just a tad smaller than RX...what is the point, if you already have an RX or Rav-4

It's like VW and Audi. Yes they use the same engines, but they also tune them differently and more powerfully in the Audi's. A GTI puts out 200hp and 207lbft out of it's 2.0T, while an A4 with the 2.0T does 210hp and 258lft
