7 Laforza Sport-utilities (what are these?)
4 Lamborghini LM002 Sport utilities
74 Merkur Scorpios
191 Ford Pintos
Without any statistics to back it up, it strikes me that in comparison to the number originally sold, there are probably a lot of surviving Things, and damn few Pacers, Corvairs, and Pintos.
