| Hi Guys, Son has to do a report on any car .. little legend chose to do it on a soarers. I know most of the specs off the top of me head for the J's and U's anyway .. i'll throw this out there. Anyone wanna hazzard a guess at the number of Soarers currently onroad in Australia and then Victoria? I'm guessing around 15,000 au and 3000 Victoria. |

| I would think the only way youre going to get a figure thats even close is by contacting DOTARS to see how many have been complied |

that wouldn't help much though, considering soarer wrecks are being parted out on a daily basis |

| Indeed. I don't care about holw many have been imported nor do I care about the number made (the exact number is on wikipedia) I am only concerned about the number on road in australia. I am looking for estimates here people .. |

| heaps??? they were one of australias most popular imports between 2000 and 2007.. so that should give you a fair indication.. after 2007 they are mostly strictly a collector thing thereafter.. here are some pics i think your son should use |

| You just about can't move in my home town for the number of Sylvia's on the road. Every other backwards cap wearing pizza faced kid is driving one with a 15" canon hanging off the back, usually the non-turbo models that have been so neglected the miserable power they developed new has faded to the point where a Nana in a Yaris can drag them off. |

| Police analyst - can't you get some data on how many Soarers get done for eg speeding versus other cars on the road? |

| Going by the production tables around 150,000 Soarers were made, this includes the US Lexus cars. As i said, short of getting compliance plate numbers for this country anything else is a wild guess |

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH! I would say the estimate of 20k would be the one to go with. |
