I personally think the LC500 is Japan's F-Type
Ketchup & Mustard
Incredibly beautiful cars. I don't recall seeing an LC500 in person. Curiously, I'm on a family holiday in Dubai this week and have seen a few Mustangs, Ferraris, McLarens but no F-type yet and no Japanese sports cars on the roads either 
. The F-type would ride so nicely on these smooth roads and I'd love to hear mine roar through the tunnel that leads to The Palm.

I also ended up next to one of those at a car meet last summer and have seen a few in the flesh before. To me it's more of a Toyota XK, being a bit more of a larger and lardier V8 GT. The interior is lovely if well specced but I'm a bit baffled by some car reviewers' rave about its looks. Guess I'm in a minority but I think it has great proportions and some nice angles but also that it's over designed and I just couldn't live with that face.
The ketchup is soo much better looking.

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!

It does look better when it's not in mustard though and the interior in the right colour does get my thumbs up. I guess this is some kind of facelift and the colour helps hiding some of the worst wrinkles.

You must have been later getting there.
Went at opening time and the cafe certainly got busy. Nice to see them roasting their own sacks of coffee beans and we had a tour of the members area round the back, with about 6 XJS’s being prepped for some new race series I think.
Nice V12 Vantage

Back to Ketchup & Mustard - I looked hard and considered the Lexus model, before I settled on the F.
As Major T remarks, they’ve broadly got the proportions on the mark, but simply overdone the styling for styling’s sake? Too many fiddly and unnecessary details makes the Lexus look overworked and busy.
Alongside the likes of the LC500 styling - the F Type carries its age incredibly well.

I really like the LC500 except the headlights, and I'd say it's styling is accurate to the brand and nationality of the manufacturer. Japanese cars always tend to be a bit... out there, styling wise. It's was one of the biggest factors in me choosing a Golf R over the Civic Type R back in 2017. The Type R at the time looked like someone had crashed it into a Halfords whereas the Golf R was understated.
The Jag is definitely going to age better though and has a more timeless classic look to it.
