Default number of 1st gens sold in USA

i was always curious on how many 1st gens were sold since i rarely see them on the road so i sent an email to lexus to get some hard numbers.

here's the response i got back:

I thought I was the only one that rarely noticed other 1st gen GS's around. I'm from Brooklyn, NY and I've only seen about 7 of them!! From the loox of them, they all look like the 1994 model...

they are roughly the same. Correct me if im wrong but the 96 and 97s have a 5speed automatic compared to 93-95s 4 speed. and they also had traction control. the rear tail lamps were separated, they didnt have the clear plastic in the center. the 1st gens are rare, thats why i t aint easy to find parts for them at Bargain prices.
