And so far, for 92's, Earl has mfg dates of 3/91-5/92 for MY 92's ranging in VINs from 100041-109680 for MY 92's
so like I said, there were more than 5280 MY92's produced...

Since this thread is for 92 production, do we agree on Joe Spitz' US production numbers:
http://www.cars101.com/subaru_svx.html
Toward the end of the link is summary of US SVX sales by year. Adding 91, 92, 93 sales is 9039, less 301 for the 93 model leaves 8738 as a production number US MY92. The VIN spread on Earl's 92 sheet proves more than 9600 MY92 were produced, this number can't be US production alone.
The difference must be North American Canadian spec, as the Canadian SVX is the same model as the US, both use the same engine spec and transmission spec. The Canadian cars fall in the same MY VIN sequence, as noted in next paragraph. I started a thread in an attempt to find out how many different models were produced worldwide, which would help us understand MY production, etc., but information dried up..
Earl, in your '97 summary, notice that numbers 57 and 426 are Canadian spec, but still in the VIN sequence. Miles should be listed in KM when appropriate, to make things more clear. So, my point is, US MY production is one number, the total MY production of this model is another number.
Earl, it would seem that your year-by-year list of MY numbers should also state which markets this model was sold in, ie, US, Canada, etc.
As for '97, perhaps the MY VIN sequence is 700-800, as the model was sold in at least two markets. Likewise, for the other years.
So, the big question, how many MY were actually produced, for each lettered model year, of the model sold in the US, Canada, and elsewhere?
