Taking the total number of SVX's imported into the USA and adding a few (very few) as private imports; declaring it a wash with Canadian imports/exports; using NHTSA data for "sporty" new car road life; factoring in a higher "fanatic owner" number, and using miles-driven-per-year and accident incidence per 1000K miles driven in primary market for the SVX, I've come up with a figure of about 8,000 SVX's remaining on the road in the USA. Remember that this is a WAG method calculation, not to be used in refereed journals.
