New mirrors for 2015?

This is actually my first car with indicators in the wing mirror.
To me its just for style and cost reduction, what was wrong with an indicator in the side of the front wing, apart from probably being a little dearer to install.
Its also the first car for a very long time with the mirror mounted into the door rather than the quadrant, which is my preferred position, again I think its just for style the way its fitted now, and again it makes no sense to me, fitting a mirror into a thin door skin then having to fit extra structural brackets just to stop them shaking?, so no weight reduction and maybe extra install costs?
My Xtrail had a very annoying vibrating interior rear view mirror, the first on any car I've had, so I know how annoying it must be for those with vibrating wing mirrors, luckerly mine are ok, I do get movement when towing due to clamping on extension mirrors but little more than previous cars, if I did have the vibrating wing mirror problem i'm afraid the car would have to go, failing any attempted repair.

Yeah, I saw that while I was searching for sporty SUVs. I was looking at an RX350/400h. But for a used Lexus I instead bought a new CX for about the same price.
I wonder how much of that NX concept is going to make it in the production car.
Keep Googling. Full sets of pics are now out of the production version of Lexus NX, it's nicely styled, like the CX-5. I think production NX was first shown in Bejing.
I'm going to try one more time with a different dealer, but I'm sure Mazda at this point might say they've fixed it twice and not authorize another repair. We'll see what happens.

Looks kinda' like a tall CT200h from the rear, but man, that spindle grill thing is really getting out of hand!(hand)

Yep... that Grill is funky... Its going to make it to the top 10 of ugliest car grills for sure:

Notice Mazda's smile grill also in there... good thing that's over with.
I actually like how Jaguar's concept SUV (looks like a mix between a CX5 and range rover Evoque...well done Jaguar) has incorporated the turn signals in the mirrors:
Paris, that first photo is actually of a CT200h, not the NX. Here's the actual back end: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-lexus-nx-200t-f-sport/#photo-2529027/
He knows that, which is why he posted pic of CT200h (or as he said "Looks kinda' like a tall CT200h from the rear") for comparision.
Last week he was admiring my loaner car from Lexus dealership, lol.

NX has many design elements and styling clichs of CX-5 GT including: smooth top (no rack, optional if needed), black wheel lip moldings, wide track and wide body, dual outlet polished exhaust tips, integrated mirror signal lights, big easily identified brand-specific grill, blacked out side glass effect (including black window trim), 19" wheels, use of black trim in lower valence areas to reduce visual height, etc.
Once you put normal wheels on the jag it will look meh.
They always use good looking rims on the show, but once the car gets to the people it is very different.
Yes, And most likely Jag will offer some very nice wheels for North American market, being a premium SUV. For example many new Porsche Cayennes (similar size and price range) are on some nice 21's from factory. Even the much smaller RR Evoque rides on standard 19's with many equipped with optional 20's.
It does seems inconsistent. I have an early '15 with no mirror shake.
Unless I turn up the bass with the subwoofer.

Off topic, but great photo in your signature. Are your wheels plastidipped?
Yep they are.
