I work near UCF on University blvd in Orlando; it is strange how many RX8s I see per hour.
I guess 10 per hour on average.

The most I've seen is probably 3 in one day.

Sad I missed it.

At most I see here is like.. 2, MAYBE 3 in a day. I never see 7's anymore, with the exception of the sexy FD that lives around here (assuming).

I specifically look for RX-8's every time I am out cruising around the Buffalo suburbs. I have probably seen around 4 or 5 the whole summer. They are very rare around here.... Love it

I've seen maybe 3 tops in one day. They're a lot more popular in VA than in IL or NC. Still not that many though. And yeah I never see any 7's. Think I've seen maybe 5 total in the past 5 years.

Not very many in my area. I'll be lucky if I see anywhere close to five in one day (but that's if I'm trying very hard lol).

On average, I spot 1-2 daily.

I live in greater New York, the most densely populated area in the country. What's more, this is an area where one sees more sports and exotic cars – and fewer trucks – than in the rest of the country. (I can drive all day without seeing a pickup truck, I'm happy to say.) In fact, trucks are illegal on many of our beautiful, twisty parkways:

Pickup trucks and vans are permitted on controlled-access parkways under the following conditions:
• They must have passenger car plates.
• They must be used only for non-commercial purposes.
• They must have an empty (unladen) weight of 5,500 pounds or less.
• All other trucks that do not meet the conditions above are not permitted on controlled-access parkways. This restriction includes moving vans, trucks and trailers.
• All vehicles (including passenger cars) with trailers or cargo carried on the roof are not permitted on parkways in New York State.
• Vehicles with "combination" plates from other states are not permitted on parkways in New York State.


Yet despite this preponderance of cars, I rarely see another RX-8. I've driven from Manhattan to Exeter, NH without seeing a single one.
