Just wondering, has anyone attempted to figure out how many of our cars are still on the road. With only 328 blues produced and now 14 years having passed I would expect the numbers to be low, but maybe this site has help keep the numbers up.

There's at least 1 blue that made it over to Germany, I've seen it years ago at a car show in Bremen but it was never seen or heard of again so I'm afraid it might be totaled.

That list is probably just about accurate. We are a minority of owners that love and store these vehicles. Many were used for daily drivers and wind up aging not so gracefully only to be disposed of like a Corolla. It is realistic that maybe 25% of Marauders are still on the road. I have seen EIGHT locally that are not members here.

Interesting info. I am picking up my Blue tomorrow and that is why I was wondering how may are left. I have had 2 Black one's in the past. I just stumble upon this one and could not pass it up. Will post some pic's later in the week. Nice to be back with the Marauder folks. Will need to find out if there are any other Blue's in Wi.

Nice catch! Congrats!
