I'm 22 here!

Am I the youngest on here?

I get a lot from my friends for driving a Lexus, it's always "Why didn't you get a BMW/Benz/Audi....."

Tell them that you decided that your "smarter" than most & picked the top SUV in the segment in stead!!!

61.5...I turned in my 99 RX300 that I had since it was new. I wanted to stick with a Lexus, and to me this looks like a shrunk current model RX. I have the white f-sport, and am loving the sporty aggressive look. In reading the reviews prior to our purchase, I read somewhere that the NX was described as perfect for the AARP crowd! I Think NOT!����

I'm surprised to see the number of 20 yr olds buying this car. The economy must be better than reported or there are more generous parents than I know of.

The NX is no where here recognised as much as in the US. It's almost a rare car here in Australia. The whole segment is filled with Euro SUVs, and it's pretty uncommon to see Lexus cars (although my neighbour has an IS).

The Q3 is really popular here and the the Benz GLC is becoming more so. Almost the whole street is filled with the new C-Class.

It's even more rare that we see an Infiniti. They sold 200 cars last year Australia wide and most people don't even know what it is.

Fun fact: My F Sport still has the "LEXUS" logo on the rear left side, whereas in the US, they have the F Sport badge on the back - there is still not enough recognition here to take the LEXUS badge off.

Wow that's so great your RX lasted that long! Was it still in mechanically sound after 15 or so years?

I can relate to you in some ways, b/c here in C/S CO I bought the very first BLUE NX200t so I don't see ANY of those here, & just a very few of any NX's so far. My sales guy called to check up w/ me & said they finally sold the 2nd blue vortex NX last week, but says the NX, (ALL, F-sport, 300h -,NX200t) are all selling very well here! Maybe more will sell there after they see yours around more!!

I went to our local dealer and had it serviced within a 1000 miles or so each time . I only had 94000 miles on it.. And the interior was pristine with the exterior close to that. It ran like a dream. But, she was 17 years old... I was actually sad to let her go, but at her age I knew she would start to nickel and dime us to death. I did have tears in my eyes for my old friend who took care of me for so long as I drove off in my new Nx..nothing lasts forever..right?

I guess when you have a job and leave at home with your parents, you have practically no bills, so the majority of your paycheck is disposable.

One of my direct reports is in his late 20's and has a new Mercedes, a new motorcycle, and just put his deposit down on a Tesla 3.

Default love cars

I have a passion for cars. started with my first, a 54 chevy, then British sports cars, 59 MGA, 63 TR3, 64 TR4, 66 Sunbeam Alpine, then muscle cars, 66 mustand, 67 Dodge 440 RT, 5 BMW's, including AC Schnitzer and M3. BMW and Porsche Club would reserve Sebring race course and we would go for weekends to drive on the track. Toyota Supra, 260Z, 300Z, 350z, Infiniti G35 coupe, and on and on. Had some great cars. One of the best was my 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint, one of only 500 that was built for Nascar.

Can you tell I still love cars. The only regrets I have about today's cars is that you cannot work on them like those of old. I still change the oil and filter on all my cars to this day.

Take care of your cars and they will not let you down.

Enjoy to all those that have the new NX200t. I think it is one of the top 10 I have owned. So is my is250
