I can see at least 8 Mustangs from my front porch here. I think a guy drives one of them.

In Texas (Houston area) is the complete opposite. There are a ton of Mustangs and Twins are rare. I probably see one a week, although that number is up for 1 every 2-3 weeks a few months ago.

Also, on a bit of a side note, Texans drive the most fuel inefficient vehicles on the planet..... full sized trucks. For better or worse, Texas is definitely truck country. Btw, Texas has the highest CO2 emissions of any state by far, almost double the state that is in 2nd. Texas is in 1st with 656 million metric tons. California is 2nd with 364 million metric tons.

They're pretty common here in Toronto around Markham and Scarborough. One of my neighbours drive a brz and there's a frs down the street and in fact I think there's aozora series blue wrb brz in the next neighbourhood. I see a frs or brz almost daily or it could just be a coincidence due to syncronized schedule with other owners as it is usually the same people.

1-I don't drive mine in winter.
2-I work from home, commute by train once a week.
So I'm not out on the road much, but I know of at least 5 twins for a population
of about 30k, I live west of Montreal.
A few more days and it's out of hibernation!

I just spent 5 months I the Tampa Fl area and I would see 2-3 every time I drove anywhere. There were two in the apartment complex we stayed at and I do not count either of them.

Now, moved to the east coast of Florida to a small town between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach and I have seen 2 in the two weeks we have been here. One had neon colored wheels and the other looked stock.

Traveling around the state, it would seem the twins are abundant in FL.

A few people have them over here where I live at, so it feels common since some of these people I know. And one of my co workers drives an FRS now I really feel like my car is common now lol

I live in a mostly rural area (largest "city" has a population of ~40,000). I see about 10 FRZs in the area.

I have seen one Asphalt FR-S in the wild. In. my. life.

Just one, that's it, apart from the ones I have seen in showroom of dealerships. Trucks rule here in the country.
