Approximately, 24% of the population was under 18 during the 2010 census.

Population over 18 in the US = 308,745,538 / 4 * 3 = 231,559,153.5

Average State Population that can drive = 231,559,153.5 / 50 = 4,631,183.07

If 10% of people are looking to purcharse a new car, that means 463,118.307.

If 10% of people looking to buy a new car want a cheap RWD sports car, that means 46,311.8307 per state.

Depending on allocation numbers, I still think the car is going to be rare in terms of spotting one. It's good that production numbers went up but allocation and what portion the US will get is still unknown as some have already stated. Regardless, I'm looking forward to driving one.
