Think of the Lexus NX 300 as a fancy Rav4 hybrid and you’re more or less there. The Lexus got some updates for 2018, though. First, there’s a new name: Previously it was known as the NX 200t. The styling has been updated, too.
Then there are some hardware changes to the NX 300, and we’re going to parrot right …
"A Lexus version of a Rav4 Hybrid" is officially the most favorable perspective I've ever applied to the NX. I think I like the NX more than the current IS. Glad to hear the chassis tuning was notable in a good way! That's been a weak spot in a whole lot of Lexus products in the past.
arg, it has the same sickle-style wheels as my GTI came with, that look ok at first, but then are annoying when you realize they point the opposite direction on the other side of the car.
In reply to irish44j :
It saves the indignity of what happened with the MN10 Thunderbird and first generation Taurus SHO where you would get cars off the assembly line with three rights and one left or vice-versa. And then you can't rotate tires without dismounting and remounting/rebalancing unless you want backwards wheels.
In other words, it's a case of "I meant to do that..."

The solution is to just not make them have an obvious "directional-ness" to them. These wheels would be better if they just got rid of the little "triangle edge" at the outer part of each spoke. Especially since it makes them look like they're on backwards on one side of the car. Those wheels are hideous anyhow, though, so may be a moot point.
Not to mention the “ catfish in a feeding frenzy “ grille.
The old Rav-4 with the V-6 was wonderful. Starting at $39K for a NA I4? Pass.
