Thanks RAL! Judging by the entire package, the NX surely is the most impressive vehicle we've ever owned. Congratulations on yours - wishing you many happy miles

Thanks Krew! My wife was so excited about her new NX. We'd been following it from its concept days and put our names forward for ordering one the moment it was confirmed for production. Lexus Midrand helped us to get the first F-Sport destined for South Africa - we're so fortunate and thankful That picture was taken just after my wife took delivery of the vehicle. I love how the angle of her right leg coincidentally aligned with the frame of the spindle grill!

Thanks LTSA Haha! And we'll have to keep it going to entice others in SA to join.

I won't be surprised if we soon have more South Africans on the site. The NX certainly has a couple of my German-brand-oriented friends now talking about Lexus - excited for the brand in SA!

I think that Lexus is still the best kept secret in SA

I agree. Have introduced two friends to the brand and they're loving their vehicles. Once you've owned a Lexus, you realise that nothing else can take its place
