4th Gen population
So i have to admit, one of my favorite things about my 4th Gen 350 is that there are so few of them out there. I live in the DC area and i cant go to the corner store without seeing half a dozen BMW's, blahhhh. I have had my car since May and i have seen a total of 3 other 4th gen 350's in the DC area. I need to caveat that i am an IT consultant so i spend about 2 weeks a month on the road. With that said, i have seen only two other 4th Gen 350s while on the road, one in Chicago and one was in the valet line at Caesars in Vegas. So, in 6 months, i have seen a total of 5 other 4th Gen 350s in the wild. I bring this up only because i am currently in the Dallas area, Plano, and i have seen 5, 4th Gens in the last 4 days including one pretty sick White Fsport and one black luxury package. I own a black on black luxury package and i think she is absolutely gorgeous, but i see her all the time. Now this black lux package i saw in Plano was all stock, but man she was so pretty, i couldnt take my eyes off of her. Made me miss my baby sitting in the garage at home and then reality hit me as I felt like crap riding around in my rental Ford Taurus. Anyway, whats the deal with all the 4th Gens in Dallas? Was the dealership giving them away? Not that 5 in 4 days is alot in comparison to anything german, but it seemed like alot to me.

I live in the in San Jose (about 50 miles south of SF) and haved not seen too many of Gen 4 GSs. In the last 6 months, I probably have seen about 10.
I just purchased a Nebula Gray Luxury with light gray interior on Wednesday and am quite happy with it. I did have a 2000 GS for the last 12 years and it served me well that when it came to time to look for a new car, the new GS was on the list to look at. The Jaguar XF came a close second but I didn't want to wait for another 30-45 days for the new turbo 4 or surper-charged 6 cylinder to come out. The loyalty promotion and the US Open voucher sealed the deal.

Same area as C6 and have only seen a handful of 4GS on the road. Heck I may have even seen him on the road lol
I don't have mine yet, but hoping to join in the next few months (it's on order).

I know there are a few people on the forum with the 4GS in Toronto, but I've only seen a handful as well. The only one I see regularly is parked in a lot I drive by on my way home. Aside from that, I've only had two other spottings (one on the highway in a city nearby), and one parked in a lot at a mall.
That being said, I don't drive to Thornhill, Richmond Hill, etc much - there tend to be more Japanese luxury cars up there.
On a related note, I didn't drive my 4GS downtown for dinner last night (the carseat was in my wife's car, and generally I don't like parking downtown unless I have to). We went out for dinner, and based on the cars parked in the 'valet' up front, I had a good chance of being one of them. The other three were a Maserati, my dad's CLS550 and a C63. Since none of those cars were out front when I showed up, I wonder how they would have played it between my car and the C63. There was only room for three cars out front.

I live in South Fla and just saw four 4GS's in the span of 15 minutes (2 f-sport and 2 lux). A week usually goes by without me seeing any. I think today is going to be a good !

In South Florida I see at least 2-3 every day.
Most dealers in this region are STILL pushing the 4GS in high volume, working for a dealership I actually see a lot of people with competitive brands come in and trade for the 4GS.
Last week someone traded in a fairly new M37 S for a GS F Sport and another customer traded an F10 5 Series for a GS350 w/ Luxury package
