I think FBs/LTSs supplanted sales as FM's 'ladder' for newer players, so I suspect the holiday sales had something to do with it. Another factor is there can only be so many flashbacks :)  They are to the point where they would be rerunning events from a bit over a year ago and then stuff within the last year.  They may want to space out the cycle more.  Also consider that, constant griping here aside, 3/4 new cars this release are actually quite a good value in terms of gold/PR (for upgrades).  In fact, they are the best to be introduced in well over a year, excepting the original R3 Spec cars.  Lastly, no doubt many monkeys take time off during the holidays as well, and so they want fewer things to monitor/have to fix during that period.
