I'm not sure this is a totally fair comparison, but they are both on my radar, and both will come sometime between now and next summer. Here is what I've been able to gather as a starter: Item HR-V Lexus NX Price $18-25K? $30K+ HP 130 230 Height 63.2" 64.8" Width 69.7" 72.6" Length 169.1" 182.3" Available Winter Nov. '14 So, the HR-V is smaller, less expensive, and a whole lot weaker. So, maybe not a good comparison. Thoughts?
