I've driven an RC-F and GS-F and feel the GS-F is a possible contender for the eventual replacement of my XFR. Lexus is really trying to get sportier with the F line.
I wish Lexus would open up the engine management so tuners could develop a supercharger for the GS-F.

RR Racing makes a supercharger for the rcf/gsf.

I had an RC-F for 2 years, than sold it and bought a '17 F-type AWD. I absolutely loved the RC-F, and at first, liked the Jag F. After having it now for 8 months, I think I might like it better than the RC-F.
I was surprised that the Jag had a smoother ride than the Lexus, and seemed quieter (road noise).
I do think that the Lex tranny was a bit "smarter" than the Jag's, a bit better at finding and being in the best (for me) gear.
Both fine cars. I wouldn't go back to the Lexus.

My 88yr. old neighbor traded in her Maserati in for a LC500 and loves it. What does that say? Looks like Darth Vader incognito?
I had one of the first RX 350s in the area. It was great, and then Lexus just seemed to stop developing anything new except sheet metal. Infotainment center on LC 500 is tiny, the rest of the interior seems to be out of the parts bin from all the other cars on the floor. My neighbor loves hers, but........

I think if you are talking about a supreme road cruiser grand tourer that will wrap you in cocooned comfort, and as much as I love the XK/F-Type, there's few that can rival the Mercedes CL550 / S-Class Coupe in the sub-100k CPO market. Note we're not talking about reliability or looks, just pure comfort and luxury for those long road trips.
Below are some CL/S-Coupe features not found on Lexus or Jag (correct me if I'm wrong) --
* Blind spot monitoring
* Infrared Night View Assist
* Active Curve Tilting
* Semi-autonomous driving
(many of which have been around for years!)

Old thread I know, but I rode in an LC 500 yesterday and I must say it was nice. Not brash, loud or as fast as the Ftype R, but more of a luxurious cruiser. For what it is, impressive. Mint examples already out there around $70k. In a year or two sub-$50k used bargains might be tempting. Depreciation is similar to the F-Type. First two years are the sledgehammer, the remaining years are tolerable.

F-Type is not comfortable for long trips at all.
