Washed the neighbours new Lexus NX300h.

[svend]

I can't believe the Lexus dealership not only allowed this out the door.

But also allowed the rubber mats to be dressed with tyre dressing, yes, tyre dressing.
What ruddy idiots.

Much better.

Mats stripped and cleaned with Adam's rubber cleaner and restorer.

Exterior given a damned good wash and sealed.

Interior wiped down.

Never forget the door shuts.

Wow, I can't remember the last time you posted a Lexus. My understanding is that they're not terribly popular in England? What say you?

[BicycleBuck]

SVENDED!

[svend]

@dr-zoidberg They are okay, just more expensive Toyotas. Saying that, Toyotas aren't all that popular either.
The Prius is popular down south and imported Previas, etc...
Of the Toyota Aygo/Citroen C1/Peugeot 108 trio, the French two do better than the Toyota for sales.
The Corolla is getting more common but the Lexus side, people go to for hybrids.

I dunno, I just cannot get 'with' Lexus' current design language...

@rallydarkstrike My girlfriend drives a US-market NX200t. It's... nice? I dunno, it's a fun drive, it certainly scoots, but not what I would've purchased. Lots of fiddly electronic gizmos that I couldn't care less about. The transmission has a "manual" mode, but no flappy paddles, and the shifter is at an awkward reach that's too close to use comfortably as a manual shift, so I leave it in auto. Sport mode is good; you can feel it using the traction control to it's advantage when accelerating, which is a nice change of pace to the last two vehicles I've owned, where traction control is there to stop all the fun like a nun at a school dance. But I agree about the design. I'm okay with all of it except the front, but only just okay with those parts. The front itself doesn't look bad, but it reminds me of this:

Coincidentally, looking at Svend's pics above of the interior, it turns out that the shifter/center console area is mirror-image of US cars... Dunno why I figured they'd be the same regardless of market.

@rallydarkstrike The Predator grille doesn't do anything for me.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@svend @nth256 Yeah, I'm OK with them as they are reliable and comfortable and all that, but the styling just looks really overdone to me...the front moreso than the back,

[nth256]

@rallydarkstrike Agreed.

[BeaterGT]

I'm just happy to see more Svend'ing

[svend]

@beatergt Cheers mate. I'm not au fait with opposite-lock's new system just yet and currently just use it on my PC, my mobile I can't quite figure out how to get look at notifications.

[BeaterGT]

@svend on my phone, I have to hit the menu button (3 horizontal lines) in the upper right and then scroll down a bit to see the notifications.

[svend]

@beatergt Cheers mate, nice one fella.
