Red face Post-Lexus debut syndrome?

This is kinda silly yet possibly real...

...does anyone feel the beginnings of a slight letdown, now that Lexus has unveiled all 4 of their new sedans, their new lineup, in the space of little over a year?

No more endless speculation, hunting for spyshots, guesswork, and anticipation...no more live press conferences.

Of course there's the SC and IS convertible and the SUV's coming up, but will we be looking at the same sedans for the next 5-6 years...? Probably right?

I am excited about the new cars, but it seems that some of the fun is over.

Anyhow, I think that there will be lots to talk about, just not the same hype.

Oe maybe some engine changes and refreshes to talk about. Hopefully the News from Lexus is far from silent the rest of this year and the next few...

I will dance around my house naked the day the LF-A is officially launched and also when the IS convertible comes out. This is only a glimpse of things to come .

I'm glad they're out and available. NOW I'm anxious to see what the aftermarket will produce for them

I can't get enough of it. It's like I'm searching and waiting for more new things to come from Lexus. Lexus is doing a great job and it's not over yet.

Yea, part of the fun has been the waiting and the speculation... I'm glad the ES is finally here, I've been waiting for a year and a half to see it. I'll be more excited when I buy something this summer and I can stop fixating on the damned car!
