Kizashi - How many are out there? United States

[Moto]

As a curiosity I started trying to figure out how many kizashis are on the roads in the US.

The short answer is that there is probably between 16,000 and 19,000 on the roads in the United States.

The long answer...
Suzuki quit breaking down their actual sales numbers in June of this year. I also could not find sales numbers for Jan 2011 or December and Jan of 2012.

The average number of kizashi sold monthly to that point was about 514.

There are about 9 months worth of sales that are unaccounted for through the end of the import run on the kizashi. I have a feeling that the sales numbers are probably quite a bit below average for the months that I do not have data for. If I were to bet I have a feeling the number will probably be around 16 to 17K. My actual estimate is 17960 (based on a high average). I know quite a few dealers have a lot of inventory right now so maybe I won't be too far off.

It's funny you should ask this as I have been wondering the same since the "we're leaving the U.S." announcement.

Sales figures were pretty grim this year. ~2000-4000 units per month total.

bump....
Looks like the data source for this is gone so I got lucky and found my old spread sheet with the monthly sales figures for the kizashi

The original source was http://www.media.suzukiauto.com/

It is also worth noting that suzuki imported 2500 additional cars after they filed for bankruptcy to meet demand.

This is the only data I could find. None of the archiving sites I could find had any more data saved...
