Torque vectoring can easily be done now via stability control and braking the inside wheel (instead of the gas-guzzling techniques of overdriving the outside wheel). (Granted, for a true sports car, i like Acura's method, but i am fine with braking inside wheel technique because of lack of extra gears, complications, and weight.)
For me, i think that the rear bias AWD (either all the time or as needed) is ideal to prevent torque steer, esp. in the more powerful versions of NX (turbo and hybrid). But, i fear that i am dreaming too much, given what Lexus has done with the CT200h and the price range where NX sits. (For example, Acura RDX dumped SH-AWD to keep prices [and fuel economy] down.)
I think for now it might be a bit too much to ask for, seems like they want to keep it more for commuting and not so much performance focused, still a chance of it happening

New review says the 200t F will do 0-60 in 7 secs, not bad!
Lexus projects mileage ratings of 22 city, 28 highway and 24 combined for the turbo.
automaker says the turbo engine and all-wheel-drive setup of the NX 200t can sprint its way to 60 miles per hour in 7.0 seconds.
Not bad at all! I was hoping for better hwy mileage.
