Third Date: 2015 Lexus NX 300h - Gas 2.0
After meeting the Lexus NX 300h a few days ago and taking it out a few times , it was time to really flog the car and see what it was really like when no one else was around. First, I want to say that I really wanted to like the little Lexus NX 300h hybrid. It’s an attractive size, has an attractive shape, and- most of all- it has an attractive nameplate. MOTHERF***ING ENFORM Lexus’ Enform was already my absolute, least-favorite of all the automotive infotainment systems when I was forced to deal with it in the Lexus CT 200h F Sport and RX 450h. This is because there was no quick-and-easy way to... Instead, you had to use this stupid, in-dash mouse thing and “boop- boop- boop” your way through the menus. Worst of all, while you were doing all this boop- booping, you were forced to take your eyes off the road. You would think that Lexus, with this all-new design, would have addressed this obvious safety issue by introducing some kind of haptic feedback in the mouse to alert you of when, for example, you were in the audio menu as opposed to, say, the nav... Or, perhaps Lexus would have introduced a different sound for each menu, instead of the same, monotonous “boop”. The interior designers at Lexus, however, are horrible designers and/or sociopaths.
