    I just watched a review on the Lexus RX. They look more or less identical. I'm assuming, because of the price, that the RX is the bigger brother?
    Interesting that this car now has _run flat tyres._ They'd be the first thing I'd replace. *Run flats and comfort do not go well together.* And this is from personal experience.
    *Lexus are brilliantly made. Both in design and quality.* *_Though they don't have a patch on Howard and his dress sense_* 8-))...

    Splendid review Sir 👌 I have a T Roc presently after returning to 4 wheels from a great few years on 2. I ordered an NX 350h last July & have just heard yesterday that it’s completed it’s build and is now on its way.🤩🤩🤩 The only problem I had is deciding on colour. There isn’t a great choice of colours imho. I know colours are used to sell cars. I think Ford & other companies have done it this year with the new “Flat Grey “ colour. It reminds me of a 1950s Ford Popular ! but it works as you see quite a few cars that colour now & they are all new .
    We had a blue CRV & a Vauxhall Viva that was very similar to the Lexus Blue. There aren’t many other choices for us as we have the Gunmetal Grey at present, it it’s very common now. That leaves the burnt orange or the karki green colour which I don’t like either. The Red is a bit better but it’s just a flat red that’s not as nice as a Ferrari red so that leaves one option. So I ordered it in that colour with the red leather interior. Yes it’s not the Black, worst colour in the world for showing every swirl or insect mark, I wasn’t sure I had made the right colour choice so I went back to the showroom to have another look. The Pearlescent White is amazing. It’s many different colours depending on which way the light is. So that’s my criticism really. There aren’t many colours to choose from.
    I just hope that the next model doesn’t have the colour I really want, a shocking BARBIE PINK 💗💗💗💗💗

There’s nothing they can do. Even other cars are like this. 15 speaker in front , two in rear😳 Their theory is that the music should be coming from the front of you like if you went to a concert. That’s ridiculous, we want surround sound. I am Waiting on car audio shop to see if I can put in 2 big door speakers and xtra amp . They have to find grids to go over them. . Will be 1000+ . That will have me keep car. Strangely cheaper 10 speaker has door speakers and sounds better. Hope more ppl complain

    Now that the RX 450h+ has no “F” Sport option and is only 275 hp with dog eared- turbo (do your homework on Turbos very BAD to have!!!) and the RX 500 is a non naturally aspirated Premium gas hog...the “NX” 450h+ “F” Sport is the VERY BEST....
    NX 450h+ “F” Sport is quick with torque out of the hole & no slouch at 0-60 in 5.5 Sec...and with Electric only 47 miles with plug in to house hold 120 Volt, & 89 miles per gallon, Reg Gas in EV combined mode Sadly, the 450h+ “F” was only available in California and Florida, Smog compliant states and Lexus RELIABILITY and Re-Sale!
