    Typically the 4th model year is the refresh. But Toyota/Lexus seem to showcase the refreshes on the 5th model year more frequently lately. (i.e. 3rd gen Tacoma/4th gen RX/4th gen 4runner/2nd gen gx).

    Deciding between a Rav4 and an NX. The Rav4 is bigger, looks good and is much cheaper.
    The NX is too small especially the flat back is not a good look. Less back seat leg room and cargo. And much more expensive. Plus you have to use premium gas.
    They dont want to make the NX any bigger bc that will take away from RX sales.
    It realy makes the decision easy for me. A Rav4 is a much better value, bigger and looks amazing. If i got a Lexus, i would feel bad for paying almost twice as much for such a conpact SUV.

      Another pet peeve of mine: you can store your preferred position for seat, mirror, etc. In fact, 3 positions can be saved in memory. But you can only recall them when the car is in *PARK*. So if you're on a highway, and you want to recall a position you have to find a way to pull over, put the car in park just to push a button. Seriously Lexus?
      This is not safety. It's overzealous. I own many other brands and none of them require the car to be in park to recall a saved memory position.

    Rear doors flow directly in rear wheel wells instead of having frame separation between door and wheel well ( salt spray / moisture spray) , the black interior called black is not black (it’s grey) , only comes with run flat tires which are more expensive, a bumpier ride (from zero flex sidewalls) and more road noise and vibrations inside vehicle. Run flats should ONLY be an option. Car should come with Michelin non run flat quality tires with a spare tire and jack. I will not buy Lexus.

      Nonetheless, Toyota/Lexus are at an inflection point. The market share is going to be cut in half with more sales going to Tesla. These legacy models need consolidation and the old market segmentation is no longer valid. Toyota/Lexus should simplify to 3-4 models on each brand plus trucks going to their own 4Runner brand.

    It's a high-end phone, and Tesla is a high-end car. A car that's safer, more efficient, more fun, faster than most cars and people are suggesting it's JUST a mass market car because it achieved higher sales volume? Selling a lot of them shouldn't disqualify it from any other categories - sporty, luxury, etc.

      Luxury is about refinement and a sense of quiet isolation on the road with cars. Cars aren't phones. They aren't comparable directly. The problem with Tesla's 3 and Y is that they don't ride and feel as premium as some mainstream cars like Hyundai Ioniq 5 and there's a difference between the Ioniq 5 and the more upscale feeling Genesis. One fallacy being pushed is that the Genesis is a cosmetic upgrade. That's not true. It is a refinement upgrade in terms of more sound deadening, more stiffness in the structure to isolate road harshness, and just a more premium version of the platform. Same with Lexus. Changing this to tech is not a convincing argument to suggest it is luxury IMO. You can have aa good amount of sales and still be luxury or at least premium, however.

From a passenger standpoint, however, the ride quality, build solidity and other aspects of refinement don't match Hyundai's mainstream products that are quite refined now. Same is true of Toyota's TNGA cars like the Camry or even the Corolla. So, it's hard for me to consider it "luxury." It's different in the S and X because their suspensions are more compliant. But they could be quieter as well. Still, those two vehicles are at least premium or premium luxury.
