It belonged to a guest at our thanksgiving dinner. Strangely, the acceleration curve felt more like my mom’s camry and didn’t feel like an Evo 10. It felt...strange.

Did it try to eat you?

no duh, . turbo in this application is meant as a torque filler low down, not as something to make crazy power up top.

I'm not surprised by that. When a company like Lexus wants it to not feel like a turbo, they can do a pretty good job at it.

The layout of the interior felt like it. It’s akin to an claustrophobic light up airplane dashboard.

Did it feel sporty other than the Camry-like engine? Because I think they look hella good, but Lexus, ya know?

Not even down low. The acceleration is almost the same as how a i4 Camry does. Shifts faster. And way too quiet.

I felt the suspension was a bit more firm than the Matrix and didn’t feel wallowy. Maybe that’s the difference between a Lexus and Toyota; handling. So much LED, so much cushiness

Not every turbo is going to have huge lag/sudden power spikes.
Lexus tuned this to feel as linear as their other offerings, though when pushed you can still feel a bit of the power hit once it spools.
Overall, what did you think of the NX? Was it the F Sport trim? Does said owner like their purchase?

Did it have thermal vision and invisibility?

If you want the unfiltered turbo experience, go find something from the 80s. Waaaaaiiiittt......for.....iiiiiiiitttttt....SLAM!!!

Said owner likes her purchase. And it was the F Sport Trim (the seats were pretty good, with more foamy plush with the perfect amount of support). I slammed on the accelerator pedal on an secluded closed road and I did not feel any sort of boost. It was way too linear to feel any kind of boost, even in Sport mode. Not short ratio, very quick shifts. If I could mess around with traction control, I feel I could feel boost.

I'd need it. The car is hideous.

Ha! I guess it's pretty bad. I don't hate Lexuses but I saw the opportunity for a Predator joke laid out on the keyboard in front of me, tempting me like a hot roast beef and cheddar sandwich
