I've been driving Lexus SUV hybrids since 2008... just picked up a 350h ~2 weeks ago. Used a 350 loaner while they applied PPF. I find the hybrids to be much more enjoyable to drive -- I couldn't wait to return the loaner. If you care about driving experience, I suggest taking each for a spin and see which you like best (or if you don't have a preference at all!)

IF gas useage is not an issue...
On the other hand, as others have suggested, get a second NX350h "if it aint broke, dont fix it"
regarding a Subaru...my brother just bought a turbo model....while I am sure it handles better than my 350h, and is faster than my 350h.... the aesthetics leave something to be desired by the Subaru...
regarding the 350h left for months....as youve read on other threads, leave it in a garage, add a BatteryMinder on it, and before you put it away, use Stabil in the full gas tank (make sure its mixed in the gasoline) and you are golden... over inflate the tires in the garage

Right now there are more 450h+ than 350h Luxury on local dealer lot, and the 450h+ comes with higher incentives.
Buy the 450h+ if you have a need for speed. Else buy the 350h which is a much better value and easier to maintain (no need to plug it in). If you're OK with pure gas, why limit yourself to Lexus? If I was buying gas and money was no object, I would probably consider the Macan.

Can't order one due to time constraints. The Macans on the lot have $8000-$12000 in cosmetic upgrades. Wheels, seats, trim, trailer hitch, etc. Total waste in my book.
No SOS.... that is a must have. No mitigations. A Mac S runs over $90,000 and will not be driven much. I do like our 2017 Macan S... it is built. My wife is comfortable driving it. Service has been great but at outrageous prices, $1100 for battery, $2500 front brakes. (I did take it to an indy). Not out of the question. BONUS...has a spare and 2 fobs
The NX dealer that we'd buy from has a 450 Atomic Lux... not my favorite color. Will not take delivery without 2 fobs.

I live in an apartment complex with no chargers or power points, it would cost me that much to wire a normal socket to my parking spot.
Anyways, best advice I can give you OP is test drive and make your choice based on what you liked. Everyone has different opinions and views on what's best.

yeah macan service is pricey hence caveat if money is no object. Are recent NX builds coming with 2 key fobs?

A bit off topic, but when I got in line for my 350h they were all sold long before being built or on their way to the dealer. It was crazy. But right now my dealer has 13 unsold 350h in various trims, on the lot. Unsold ready for someone to buy. The whole script has flipped.
