Good stuff but that 0-60 time is seriously conservative. Id be expecting 6.2-6.5s in all honesty, especially since its lighter, has a quicker transmission etc than the NX

Essentially they are dropping Arctic Pearl for the Sonic White and Azure Blue will replace Ultra Blue - In other markets Azure Blue is known as Ultrasonic Blue 2.0 and is available on the RC-F already. Other colours will remain but Fuji red is a new no cost option like on the CT.

£31495 for the F-Sport 200t is a good price. This raises the question of why the NX200t is more expensive than the NX300h though.

Am I missing something here? - 1 second less on the 0-60 dash (not that this is a good 'yardstick' for measuring performance) not that much additional HP, I'm guessing higher emissions and therefore RFL - so why would this sell?

Its actually 1s slower than 0-62mph! :P However, the car has some serious grunt - 350nm of it in fact! Thats about the same as the IS350 so it'll definitely be a hoot to drive.

HP doesn't really matter as its what "holds" speed. In the real world, torque is what you want to be looking at. TBF the 0-62mph time is conservative like I mentioned. How can the NX get to 62mph with more weight and a slower transmission (Autoexpress got the NX to be 6.8s! btw). Id bet a badger itd hit 62mph in 6.5s!

Great believer in torque myself - BHP is only a component of torque after all.

It'll sell as well as the V6 it replaced.
