You should have asked to talk to "Flo". She knows everything.

Called Progressive the other day after taking delivery of my F-Sport. Give the guy the VIN and everything, he says they cannot find the car/model in the system. Asks me to hold on while he talks to his supervisor.

I just picked up my NX F Sport from Lexus of Queens, NYC tonight after work!! Super excited. It's my first Lexus and I'm in love. But on the way home I discovered it's really hard to change lanes when highway driving. Every time I tried to get over the car in the adjacent lane would either speed up or slow to stay positioned alongside me to continue their drooling and ogling. One toyota driver's passenger was so far leaned over into the driver's seat she was looking out of the driver side window. Other NX owners, how long do you think this phenomenon will last??

Another poster in another thread mentioned this same phenomenon. It's given the term "head turner" a whole new meaning.

Maybe I am in minority but I really have not had the head turning experience yet though my wife claims she observed some pedestrians took a notice of NX. But I got nice compliment yesterday at a gas station from a guy driving BMW 335 coupe. He was trying to figure out from the shape of the headlight what kind of car I was driving.

The NX is nice, but it's got that Battlestar Galactica grill that can be good or bad, depending on your preferences. I did not like the F-sport grill at all.
So far I'm really enjoying the NX, but do miss the space of the RX.

Yeah, it's really a love it or hate it front grille. That said, I found the F Sport front grille to be very bold and striking. The base model, for me at least, was a bit too pointy and resembled a nurse shark. It was the first NX I saw when I visited my dealership for the first time to inquire about the NX and it reaffirmed my decision to go with the F Sport.

I wonder what the chances are of a stone coming in through the F-Sport grill and causing damage to the condenser and maybe the radiator ?
I recall putting a screen in the under part of my RX's grill because of reported stone problems doing damage as reported in the CL RX forum.
Maybe Lexus fixed the problem I'd like to think ?

There is a picture behind the grille. Maybe it answers your question?

If something is going to hurt your radiator, it has to be big, and its probably going to destroy your grille also.
That being said, the grille on these cars is huge. it is certainly going to be a rock catcher. I already have an appt with my clear bra guy the minute it arrives, but you can't really cover a grill. the poor thing is going to be pelted to death.

I still own an RX300 and considering upgrading to NX. In my RX300, I did have a problem once where I had to replace my radiator due to a rock strike that caused a leak. Has this been a frequent occurrence with the NX? The other thing that concerns me is whether the NX grill sustains a lot of damage from parallel parked cars bumping it?
