Jeremy has been quoted many times saying that the LFA was the best car he has ever driven... He even mentioned this in a TG episode. In the review in question he did make some good points about the new NX PHEV, but just that it's not for him. I actually own a 450h+ and some of his points about the frustrations of too much software intervention are valid (and I work in the IT sector and own a couple of software businesses). Lexus (Toyota) used US developers to improve the previous awful infotainment tech and they went crazy, chucking in everything they could think of. Safety systems are getting better and are obviously necessary, but should also be useable outside of the US. My car doesn't recognise me without both key and phone if not in cell coverage - it defaults to 'Guest' mode... and the wait until the car has recognised you when you do have coverage seems interminable. But the latest Ferrari's do this as well, so maybe it's me who is out of touch... Clarkson is a brilliant journalist and some of his articles are designed to illicit a reaction, so this should be kept in mind.

Re the windows and sunroof... On the new NX, you have to use the US variants of words, so... Sunroof = Moonroof and use the "hey Lexus" command to tell the car what you want. To be fair it has always worked for me, which is something with todays voice controlled vehicles. The fob doesn't work trying to open/close windows and roof automatically...
