I apologize if this has already been posted, but I just saw this regarding the sound system:
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...-2015-lexus-nx
Very exciting IMO as it seems the ML systems have a cult following here, and 14 speaker with 835 Watt is much more than I was even hoping for as an option.

But "The 2015 Lexus NX equipped with the available Clari-Fi-enabled Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound Audio System is expected to launch in Asia and Europe later this year"
Sounds like The NX in the U.S. won't be getting ML sound system

it is really hard to see from right now what the mpg could be, but they just started selling Yaris with this tech in Japan, and they were able to get 15% mpg improvement from just these engine changes. Compared to old Yaris that had all the other fuel efficiency things like same CVT, start/stop, same tires, same weight, etc, etc, it was 15% improvement.
With NX Turbo, it should be lighter, it should have D4-ST, plus new engine tech with atkinson cycle and other things detailed.
So, it could be quite good in real life.
Of course, even if it is great, it will get 7-8 mpg less than Hybrid in real life... which is really a lot. Cant argue with 25%-30% smaller fuel bills.

It is a 2015 model. Would the 2016 arrive around this time next year to replace it? April seems to be when all the car maker websites updated to the 2015s.
I didn't notice this before, but you can clearly see a standard sunroof in the released photos. It seems like pano is becoming a standard option in this segment so that's a bit disappointing if not offered.

Yeah, that was kinda my point. While other manufactures (like Mitsubishi...you know, a real luxury brand) already have had them for years, this 2015 Lexus still does not deliver.

I have a car with pano roof. It looks cool but with Texas heat, it is not recommended. I'd rather take a regular sunroof than pano anyday now. Maybe if I live in CA or east coast, I'll havw different story.

yes, in few months we will get refresh though... so it is best to buy it next year... although then we will have brand new model in 2 years from that :P
