Any possibility of "Asian Delivery"

There are LHD cars in Japan.
E.g. 90% of vehicles sold by Ford Japan are LHD (the only exceptions are the Fiesta, Focus and Escape)
Personally though, I wouldn't drive an LHD car in Japan (or conversely an RHD car in Mainland Europe). It would confuse my brain a lot...so I would pass on that.
But IMHO, I think an 'Asian Delivery' or 'Japanese Delivery' (though an extremely special request) would be possible. With that said, I'm not sure if they'll allow you to drive your LHD car outside the factory grounds (given any liability concerns PLUS the fact that Japan doesn't give out temporary license plates)
BUT at least you can see your car in-person and maybe drive within the factory premises. Hey better than nothing
This would require coordination though............so you need to contact the following people:
Paul Willamsen
Head of Global Marketing and Product Training for Lexus division of Toyota Motor USA as well assistant roles for Lexus International
and
Mark Templin
Vice President, Global, Lexus International
It's important to contact these people BECAUSE these two high-ranking officials are the ones that will forward your request to Mr. Kiyotaka Ise, Managing Director and head of Lexus Japan and Lexus International
Good luck on your request
