How many Ralliarts ARE THERE?
In Halifax Nova Scotia my dealer had a hell of a time keeping the RA's on the floor. My RA had to brought in from Ontario beause some girl bought the TB RA on the show room floor the day before I showed up 
but I got another TB RA.
but I got another TB RA.
I have yet to see another RA SB on the road other then mine. I've seen a total of two RA sedans on the road since 2009.
This obviously doesn't count the ones I have seen at the shop since they are usually there for a reason.

Arnt all of our cars numbered? I just bought mine on 02/19/11 ...didn't even know the car existed, was shopping for a Lancer GST because I can't afford the Evo. I was overjoyed when I found out about the RA. There was 2 about an hour away in Reading, Rally Red and Octane Blue, I no doubt took the Blue, it looked too hot with the black wheels and tint. ...but anyway on my driver side door jamb my 2009 RA is number 000897 of an unknown # ...what's yours?

I would guesstimate the actual number to be around 5000-6000 per model year, with the sedan being produced in higher volumes compared to the sport back.
You can usually find these numbers with other automakers, so I'm surprised it's this difficult with
, but I can't seem to find them either...maybe I'll try bing instead of google...

I've seen 2 (maybe 3) other RAs in the Philly area. One belonged to a fellow forum member and the other belonged to someone who works at the same company as I do (different location, though). The possible third one that I've seen was going the opposite way, so I couldn't tell if it was a RA or a GTS.

I have only seen 4 in my area (Central Indiana) .I know when I purchased mine there was only a silver sportback left in Indiana. I wanted a sedan so it was either a black one from Cali or a blue one from Chicago. I like the fact they are rare. I don't want to drive the same mustang or camaro that 90% of the city drives.

Well I alone have spotted 4 on the road on the NY area.
2009: 1 Graphite gray on I-95N
2010: 2 - a Rotor Glow orange one and a Graphite Gray (spotted both on the L.I.E.)
this year: 1 Wicked White which was this past weekend (heading Eastbound on the L.I.E)
so yeah Ralliarts are rare, were not like dime a dozen types like Honda & Hyundai.

Not too many here in Raleigh/Durham. I think there were a total of 10 '09 RAs sold. The dealer I bought mine from had 5 or 6 sitting on the lot for almost a year.
I thought I read somewhere that Mitsubishi was only bringing over about 2500 RA and 2500 Evo to the US a year.
