If it was 50, it was 50 too many.

2005 US import numbers--4191 for the Evo VIII.
The problem with the 2004 numbers you posted is that 04 Evo didn't start being sold until April 04. So the Oct 03 to Sept 04 imported number includes 03's numbers

The 05 VIII production dates were started Oct 04 and ran about a year (I am not 100% sure on when IX were released) So those number are more realistic.

How did you come up with that number?

Unless you have a good source or its based off data, it can be dangerous to start throwing around production numbers. Before you know it, there will be stated as fact. I have seen quite a few myth's that just won't go away (even after years of correcting) because someone guess is wrong.

Are these numbers for real? Seems awfully low, but maybe not.

Even being 1 out of 6160 is amazing. Somehow though I figured the numbers would be higher.

I wounder how many 2003 evos are left road worthy (not totaled or track cars)?

No wonder there is only one other 8 in my area. There used to be a 9 but have not seen it in years nor the 10. There are a few 10's that roll in from time to time but not from this area.

Strictly in my area I have only seen one Evo (only on the highway, not sure if it's an 8 or 9), and it was GG. In the Orlando area I think I only remember seeing 2 (one being GG and EB) at least I think lol. I know there are more, they must be hiding.. A fair amount more Subby's in my area though, still not many STi's.. Guess there aren't enough "hills" here in Florida lol.

^ This, I plan on picking up an 05 Evo in the near future and would desire an SSL otherwise an MR.

Edit: Don't know what it is, but I like having a moonroof on my cars even though I hate convertables lol.

FYI if you see post 130 in that thread, the total IX production isn't correct. The numbers listed were to that date. A few more IX were sold after. The numbers are close.

This is cool. And for the people that dont beileve it just think about how many u see on the road. It would make perfect sEnce that mitsu would only make so many cars because in 03 they were very unsure if the car was even gonna sell cuz it was 35k. And kinda cheaply made on the focus points, interior, sound dentining, and sound en sterio.

back when i bought my GG MR in Jan of 05 the Sales guy said there are only 2000 MRs and around 250 were in GG.
I remember reading in several places those same numbers.
