Making Progress
Thought I’d give an insiders update today. I’m currently working on the new RX launch coming in a few weeks and decided to take a stroll to check on the NX line. I was surprised to find the line running on a Sunday. All cars on line were NX with no RAVs in between. There are still lots of vehicles offline with “hold awaiting parts” cones however.
They have been building on Saturdays, and apparently Sundays. So 7 days a week to get your cars to you. The plant itself is at the mercy of suppliers now unfortunately. Also struggling with manpower issues like so many other businesses these days (hard to believe).
Things look to be improving, and seeing all the NXs there gives me hope for mine coming as well. It is a beautiful car. It’s NX heaven here and I get to see all the options you all are choosing. I hope these cars meet everyone’s expectations. Us Canadians are working lots of overtime to get them to you. Be patient, these cars are beautiful and worth the wait!
ps. I can’t answer many questions on NX issues since I’m in the RX plant. My level of insider information is limited. RX launch is the second week of October. It will be a slow launch but you will likely start to see some around the end of Oct!

NX is a much better Car than the new RX
NX is a much better car than the new RX IMHO, so I don't really care about the new
RX. If I did care about the new RX I would probably be looking for information in the RX forums. I love my NX 350h; of the four Lexi ( plural of Lexus) I have owned, it is the best. RX is just too big and too heavy and too clunky, even the RX500h doesn't have sport car level performance and how well do you expect a 2 1/2 ton big SUV to handle?
I stick with this forum and discuss NX cars, Thank You.
Peace and Good Will

I have absolutely no plans to trade my NX for the RX! I was only curious since @LexusQ mentioned that he's working on the RX line.
As per the price increase, I know it's too be expected. The missus has been waiting for her Sienna since January and it's still waiting with no ETA at all; only thing dealer has mentioned is that there'll be a price increase. I assumed that will carry over to Lexus as well...

I totally agree with you that the current NX is much better than the current or upcoming RX. The RX stopped appealing to me when it became humongous in 2015.
I have absolutely no plans to trade my NX for the RX! I was only curious since @LexusQ mentioned that he's working on the RX line.

I am more concerned about the 2023 NX price increase. No word yet, but with inflation, supplier costs etc, I feel like there will be a substantial cost added to the customer. There have been many reports on Toyota subsidizing suppliers cost increases. Only a matter of time before that’s passed on to the consumer.
I ordered in April and it looks like a 2023 model will be my fulfillment. Now I get to enjoy the MRSP mark up but receive the exact same vehicle. I really dislike how they don’t lock in your cost at time of purchase. I agreed to pay X and signed the purchase agreement. Any delay in fulfillment should be a Lexus problem, not the customer who agreed to buy at the current price point.

I much prefer the NX as well. Sitting in an RX feels like driving a house.

How were you working seven days a week when the plant was shut down due to a shortage of parts?
You should update your profile from California to Ontario. Long commute to work.
Have a great day!
