Gorgeous, inside and out. This vehicle really exemplifies not only Lexus' design standpoint, but also something really unique to the auto industry in general, love it.

This thing looks gorgeous.

It's gonna take a little time for the general public to catch up to the taste of designers (as it always is with new designs).

really like the new design of Lexus. Good review

[coureurdebois]

keeps mentioning lincoln.... which is not even worth mentioning.

[Elgin-winf]

Beautiful review. Love the videography and music selection.

4:27 Minimal turbo boost? Or minimal turbo lag?

I go for Lexus's reliability over breakdown prone Germans (BMW/Mercedes/Audi) anytime. I am talking from my own personal experience. 
For none believers, please check Consumer reports auto relialbilty survey.
What is Lincoln ?!?!?!?!

That in car interface actually functions like a laptop because other that very old handheld I've never seen a cellphone with a trackpad.

"The interior is okay"??? Compared to what other entry-level vehicles?? I've seen other reviews which have gushed over the interior. Goes to show how people have starkly different tastes and perceptions. If someone is gonna tell me the NX F-Sport just has an "okay" interior, they shouldn't be reviewing cars. Stick to online gaming as an everyday hobby!

Beautiful review. Anyone know where exactly in Whistler that particular bridge, lodge, and open area with the mountain in the background is? 

[EvanderSmart]

Great new design!
Will be interesting to see what Lexus does with the next RX design in 2015

2:46 The rear looks awful. Remind me of a minivan

[cooodylan]

no idea why so many people hate the front end. but i love it a lot, especially the F sport. definitely the best in the class.

Nowadays I don't think there's one mass producing manufacturer doesn't share platform/Chassis.  But given that none of the body or Engine and interior was shared with the Rav 4.  I have the say that it's unfair to judge that this is just a upscaled Rav 4.   That's like saying Tiguan is a Q5 or Macan.  Or better yet Durango is a MBenz GL?

"UGLY comes with no extra charge."

This sporty looking is pretty unique, and yet it looks nice. Finally Lexus put a 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine in it's car.

Beautiful area, where was this video shot?

Lexus and Acura IMO make the best vehicles for the money.  You can not beat their reliability. I don't know what Lexus was thinking when they put that cheap looking black plastic around the wheel wheels.  The nav screen looks like an afterthought.  They designed the dash and than said whoops we forgot the nav screen so we will velcroed an aftermarket one on top of the dash.  Both these are enough for me to keep my RX350.  Shame because the rest of the vehicle looks great.

I can't hear you over all that road noise!
Did you say something about fake boost sounds?

In any case that design does not work with those proportions as is the case with almost every SUV that tries to pull off the corporate grille and whatnot.

So. Rav4 may has a turbo engine in the future.
