I saw my Atomic Silver twin yesterday near my house. Saw a white one last week in my neighborhood. They are a rarity but for some reason keep seeing them near my home and no where else on my daily commute. .
During a trip from Michigan to suburban Philadelphia and return I saw three NXs (not counting dealers' lots): an EWP 200t, a MRM 200t, and an EWP F-Sport. Evidently NXs are not too common yet. My NX200t put in a bravura performance with no issues whatsoever and averaged 30+ mpg on the Interstate legs of the trip.
Not surprising, given that the newly redesigned 2016 RX is almost here.
Not quite the case in Canada. The majority of the NX's popularity stems from the fact that it's a compact CUV, a top-selling segment in Canada, contrary to the US which is the mid-size CUV. For instance, the '15 RX's sales in the US is still double the NX's.
Took a trip from GA up to NoVA and DC and saw only a handful even in wealthy NoVA. Did see dozens of the prior model RX350s. It was probably the most prevalent car I saw in VA.
Interesting thread. In two months since we purchased ours, I have seen two. I thought I sighted one yesterday but as I got closer, I realized the grill had a smashed look. It was a new RX. except for that smashed part of the grill, it is amazing how similar those vehicles look from a distance.
Anyway, back on topic, I am surprised just how few of the NXs are around. Of course, there is only one dealership in our city, and the next nearest is over 400 miles away. It still surprises me how rare they seem to be around here. Our sales manager said ours was only the second hybrid NX they had sold.
If I only stay in downtown Toronto I might see 1-2 a day. But if I travel around where I live or up to where my friends and family live I'll see anywhere from 5-10 a day. Generally, when and if I go to a neighbourhood that has more Asian people (sorry for the racial profiling here, but I'm also Asian if that makes it better), the number of Lexus's I see goes way up.
I've already seen 2 on my way to the Tim Hortons where I'm typing this post!
