I have no problem believing Lexus sold the 165 cars allocated to Japan. The Japanese are pretty chauvinistic when it comes to cars and after years without a real Japanese sportscar/supercar there are probably plenty of takers for an über Supra or the like.

Hint. They're not on car forums, because they are not enthusiasts for the most part.

If they are not enthusiasts, then why are they buying the car? They must at least be enthusiasts for the brand yet on the Lexus forum I was flamed for just asking the question, as if, "How dare you?"
