Default Loving my NX300 but may upgrade to the new IS500 V8

Love my NX300 F Sport but also excited for the new IS 500 Launch Edition to come out later this year. Trying to decided if I want to stick with the NX or go with the V8? I already put down a deposit for the IS just in case. 🤪
If anyone is interested in spiffing up their ride with some Vossen 22” wheels they are for sale in excellent shape.

Chrome Delete with 22”x9” Vossen HF-3 Wheels in custom black gloss finish. I had to purchase OEM sensors because the aftermarket kept triggering the sensors to error after 10 miles.

I see you're in TX so unless you need the space of the NX, I'd definitely go IS500, probably one of the last V8's they do before the V6TT starts taking over.

You got me temped on those wheels....... maybe I'll send a PM and see what's up lol

I would stay NX. your car is nice as is. I really like how you have it there with the wheels and black and white theme.

No sense in trading for an almost 10 year old car (debuted in 2014, but designed likely around 2012ish) the architecture of the refreshed IS is stil the 2014 car which is wet, soppy, and old relatively speaking. Nice car, but not for new car money.

I say both if you can swing it! I have an '12 ISF I've had for almost 7 years. NOTHING beasts the 2URGSE v8 wise in sound! I'm FBO and drive it usually once or twice a month and EVERYTIME it steps out, it gets compliments on looks and sounds...just a joy to cruise in!
i also daily a 2020 NX300 F Sport and they compliment each other well.... basically, I couldn't imagine having just one or the other.
I will probably pick up the is500 launch edition just to compare it to the F.
But if you have the space and money, do both!

Looking at the way the OP mod up his NX, what he really wants is a racer, not a SUV. Go for the IS.
