Would be a nice offering for Lexus here to compete with the Macan, Alfa compact CUV thingy, etc.  But like you said, unlikely it will come over, which is a shame as it does look pretty enticing and could be something I could conceivably convince my wife to buy to replace the CR-V in 5 years time.

Enjoy then! Just mentioned the UX as this little guy is much smaller than Macan and Tonale. Probably the closest competitor to this wee Lexus in size and spirit would be the now-departed Kona N.

^ my first thought was the Nissan Juke that had the engine and drivetrain from a GTR shoehorned into it.
