Number of 'alive' SVXs
I was wondering in anyone had any reasonable estimate of how many SVXs there are out there, in the USA and a total world number. I have tried to take a look and am somewhere around 1000 in the USA, but it is not a very good estimate, because I have no idea for sure. The admins might have a much better idea at least of the US, mostly because of different sighting threads and attending some of the meets.

Far more than 1000. I would guess ten times that many.

Sorry, that's what I meant. 10,000.
If i remember right, I believe that I saw 14,000 were imported into the US over the 8 years they were sold.

Production numbers and imports/exports:
Worldwide production 25,000 US 14,257 Canada 942 Europe 2,478 Germany 854 Other 6,469 Right Hand Drive 7,000 I would guess that half of them are no longer on the road. If that were the case, cut all of the numbers in half.

yeah, its probobly safe to say that there are about 7k on the road nowadays. This is thanks to people wrecking them, and finding employment in parting them

My opinion - much higher number, closer to the projection of 10,000 in USA. Reasons: SVX is a low-theft vehicle, few were stripped and sold for parts. SVX was and remains a vehicle with a more fanatic ownership who tend to give their cars higher levels of maintenance. SVX is, overall, a well built car that resists normal effects of aging and high mileage. SVX is an accident avoidance type car, one that is capable of getting a driver out of trouble, and because of this, a smaller percentage of the total were involved in wrecks that "totalled" the car. Finally, the SVX is gaining popularity among a set of younger owners due to its rarity, style and performance, thus acting to preserve a greater percentage of older SVXs. No, I think the number in the USA may be much closer to 10K.
