It is a stalk on the left side of the steering wheel.

I also don’t like the plain side of the passenger dash. I sure hope it comes with some designer stitching color coded to match interior. It just looks sooo bland on that side for a luxury vehicle.
I agree, that 7 trim should be turned around, the trim should separate the center controls from the passenger side to make the dash seem more driver-centric. I have never been a big fan of these recent Lexus asymmetry interior designs as well as the direction of their grille designs.

I wrote Cruise Control when I meant the Radio Mode button. Every Lexus has the cruise on the stalk.

I don't believe that is true. Here is a thread about the cruise control being on the steering wheel for the 7th generation ESh.

I believe that this is also the case for the current generation LS and possibly some other recent Lexus models. Lexus and Toyota seem to be moving toward this design in many of their newer car models.

That would be nice to have. Do we have any info yet on the steering wheel controls on the new NX?

Lesz is correct. It is on the steering wheel on the current generation of the ES. To be candid, I prefer the stalk because I can do it by feel & memory. On the ES I have to look down at the buttons on the wheel. It’s just more distracting in my experience.

With the RAV4 Hybrid that I bought last fall, the cruise control buttons are on the steering wheel, and I prefer that to having a stalk for the cruise control. For me, it is more intuitive and convenient on the steering wheel. However, based on the thread that I linked above, I may be in the minority with my preference.

The 'backwards 7 trim' is supposed to represent the F-sport logo. Lexus has lots of the stylized 'F' in their design language. You see that in the door handles for the RX as an example.

Good video showing the exterior and interior colors of the 20222 NX. They eliminated atomic silver, silver lining metallic and nebula gray.

Not liking the color choices at all. Why would they eliminate the Silver colors? I wanted an Atomic silver NX. The red, green, blue and orange look like Jelly Beans. Don't see the Nori green(dark green) as posted from Poland in a previous post(Euro color?). Also, I'm a not a fan of 2 tone interiors. Will have to wait to see the real NX in person, internet colors often are not what you get.

The other issue I have to watch will be the availability of the 450h+. If it is anything like the RAV4 Prime it won't be available in Florida and some other states.

Is there an actual source of those colours other than some fan's photoshop?

Atomic Silver and Nebula Gray are such quintessential Lexus colours, there is no way they would remove that for the 22 NX.

Wow, nothing like the boring 50 shades of grey...vehicles colours have become so boring, I welcome greens (especially), reds, blues, and other colours.

Agreed. 95% of the NXs around here seem to be white, silver, or black....colors that scream 'LEASE!' to me. I was set on red for my NX when I get it, but I'm not sure what I think yet of 'Redline'. I may have to go with that 'Grecian Water' color they have, that looks nice too.

I like greens also, but not that hideous green shown in the utube video. Do you honestly like it? and would you actually buy it?

I think these early utube videos are showing all wrong shades of colors. Will have to wait for Lexus to reveal actual choices.

Like the "boring" shades of NX exteriers becasue they come with nice interier option colors that I like, and can't get with the bright exterier colors. And.... my boring RCF platinum exterior has saved me from recieving speeding tickets.
