As for me red has always been my first choice in vehicles. I had a Redline IS200t Fsport before this NX300.
Here is my NX

The Nebula Gray I've never really cared too much for. Any kind of darker gray color has never appealed to me. But if red had not been available I would have gone with Atomic Silver. I think that color looks very good on a NX. If I'm able to get a UX250h next year Atomic Silver will be my first choice.

I often park near a Red standard NX at my club and compare them just to see if I'm tempted to change, but I haven't...and my wife is glad I haven't.

I see from your signature that your NX is Matador Red Mica...how do you like that color? Almost every Lexus around here (north Atlanta suburbs) is white, black, or gray/silver, so I have to have something that stands out at least a little bit. Blue seems to be an F Sport-only color, green and orange are non-starters, so that leaves red. I'd answer the question for myself if only I could find a red Lexus to look at...
Oh - and regarding the discussion about the touchscreen for the infotainment system, my issue is my OCD tendencies. I hated the touchscreens on previous Priuses that we owned. They always showed fingerprints and this drives me nuts (a very short drive of course
).

That's a good looking car!
I still have a year to waffle about it, but it may come down to what they have on the lot when I'm ready to buy; when I bought my 2000 Maxima I wanted a dark gray color, but they only had the car I wanted in silver. I bought it in silver and was very happy with the results.

Oh we love the red, but it does take more work than some other colors to keep clean. Any of the darker colors are going to show dirt worse. Frankly the Nebula Gray on our previous RX was easier to keep clean, as is the Atomic Silver on our ES. If I could choose again, I would probably choose a Gray or Silver just because I think it looks better with the wide black plastic around the wheel wells than about any other color. Again, this is just my personal preference. But that isn't meant as a negative on the red at all as we love it and it really sparkles when the sun hits it (and it's clean of course)! I am hoping they reduce the size of that plastic around the wheel wells on the next generation.

Also looking forward to the new version. We test drove a turbo and hybrid NX last weekend but were not impressed enough to pull the trigger.
A little more interior space and refinement would make a difference in our decision. And I second the hope for a panoramic roof.
We drove the RDX first and it felt more refined but certainly didn’t drive as well as the NX in terms of handling and transmission performance.

Funny thing about colors...I said initially that I wanted red for mine, but as I've been looking at people's cars on the forum I am starting to really like the Nebula Gray. I'm still undecided about having a car that blends with everyone else's, but it would look sharp in my driveway.

In the General Forums/Car Chat it was noted that Toyota is moving up their timeline for new and updated vehicles. Hopefully this means the new NX will be coming out sooner than later.

I am looking forward for the 2022 as well. I am super loyal for NX since the 2015. had a lot problems with that one, but currently 2018 are been great. I am either keep my 2018 or wait for the 2022/2023. If there is no plug in version of new NX, I might just keep the 18 NX since it is very nice car and I had 0 problems since day 1.

I think the standard grille on the NX is fine, but I can't stand the F Sport version...which is too bad, because otherwise I might be tempted to get it.
I'm actually not that concerned about the infotainment system...once I get everything configured (typically a one-time process) I tend not to worry about it. But literally EVERY review of the NX whines about it, so I assume it must be especially awful.
Also...I'd like to tint the front windows to match the back, but I've seen people online say that there's something special about the current NX that makes this difficult. Others say they've had no problem. Anyone know for certain what the truth is? I'm also curious what a quality front window tint job on this vehicle should cost, as I've never had a vehicle tinted before.

Do 20% to match the rear. If you're around the triangle are if NC or southern VA, I'll gladly do then for $120 for the 2 fronts, carbon ceramic tint, lifetime warranty 👍.

Waiting for the 2022 NX as well. Hoping its the redesigned NX350 they have been promising to replace my GS350. Haven't really been impressed with the packages or drive of the 2020 I also have. Definitely hoping the real leather is optioned with Glazed Caramel like the RX was for 2021. I wanted real leather and the luxury package for the 2020 NX, but couldn't deal with black or creme. I've been reading anywhere from a 14" up to 17.1" touchscreen for this upcoming ride. Hope some spyshots or more definitive information is released soon. I will wait for December to Remember to get mine next year, and then need to figure out...Eminent White Pearl or Atomic Silver...
