I find the NX centre console to be extremely narrow/cramped. They designed it strangely by putting their signature hourglass-shape grille into the centre console. For me, that's why the NX interior feels so cramped. One of my gf's good girlfriends has a fully-loaded 2019 F-Sport NX, didn't like it much when I drove it.

The NX is the last gen Rav4, poorly executed
The UX is a the CH-R, which is a shit vehicle to begin with
The RX is a Highlander
The ES is an Avalon

It's interesting when you look at it this way, because it goes to show how far Toyota has come in terms of closing the gap between their non-luxury and luxury brands. While I'm not a fan of the new RAV4, it's a great crossover in every way. I personally am I massive fan of the C-HR and it's in my top 3 list of cars I may possibly get, looks really cool no doubt about it. I've driven the RX350L and didn't think it was worth the premium over the Highlander. The only car that MAYBE gets a pass from me is the ES, which is actually very well done and noticeably more luxurious than an Avalon.

Honestly I wouldn't be half as salty as I am if they let Canadians have the RWD IS350 with the 8spd auto. Their logic doesn't really make sense, because the IS300 (2.0T) is RWD and I've literally never ever seen one ever anywhere, so might as well drop this one off too

*rants about how BMW has lost their way*
Only car I'd currently consider in their lineup is an X2 M35i because it's the closest thing they have in North America to a hot hatch and it's actually not priced too terribly. Don't even get me started on the 2GC, it's an abomination of a car, just when we thought the CLA was as nasty as it gets.
