Cool Any Canadians on here?

Just wondering if any of you are citizens of the Great White North. These cars are pretty rare up here - according to Good Car Bad Car, here are the sales figures:
2002 n/a
2003 n/a
2004 246
2005 212
2006 159
2007 109
2008 80
2009 44
2010 29
2011 3

If my math is correct, that's 882 SC's sold in Canada over its lifetime. Well, I just added one more that was imported from the US.

Anyway, other Canadians on the forum? Stand up and cheer, eh?

Hi Maarp, your adding is correct 882. You have 192 more in Canada than in Australia. Our total number from 2001- 2010 was 690 units. Your population is near 37 Mill., ours is near 25 Mill. I wouldn't mind getting a hold of the 2010 SC as there was only 1 that arrived here new from Japan. Even though I'm not Canadian my Wife is, and I resided there between 1971- 1976. Beautiful country. I lived in Willowdale, just outside Toronto. I have a close friend that lives in Woodbridge. Our SC is a 2001. All ours came direct from Japan RIGHT HAND DRIVE. I was under the impression that 2010 was the last year.?

I have a 2002 in Alberta. I have seen a couple others around here so they aren't that rare here. Not that you see one every day but there are probably about 6 or 8 in Alberta.

Hey Chris,
Where did you source the Aus SC430 numbers? Do you have a year by year breakdown ????

2010 was the last production year, but I these are when the cars sold, not when they were made.

I am in a small village about 130km west of Toronto, maybe 40km NW of Waterloo. I have distant relatives (my mother's late uncle and his descendants) in and around Adelaide, last I heard, but I have no contact with them.

Hi Nathan, I first checked on the computer, to find out the numbers sold in Australia shortly after I bought the SC nearly 2 years ago. As far as I recall there was a breakdown.

Hi Maarp, I also live in Adelaide.

@Rogerdesch - post some pics!
@RRocket - beautiful!

Either of you planning on driving all winter? I put a set of Blizzaks on mine, and I have no issues whatsoever in the snow.
