I’ve only ever seen one in the last year in or around Santa Clara. I commute from south San fransisco and spend many weekends in Santa Cruz and Monterey and so far have been the only one on the road. Only had mine for a few weeks but have been looking for one since the 2017s came out so they’ve been on my radar. The one I saw was like around June it was grey and it was turning onto Lawrence. Other than I’ve only seen mine. And judging by the looks and pictures taken of mine on the freeway and gas stations last few weeks I’m assuming they aren’t out as often as I am. But I know they are here cause the dealers sell them the same day they get them in every time for fat markups so they’re hiding somewhere.

i live in San Diego and its very rare for me. Best chance for a sighting is weekends, which makes sense as this is also my weekend car.
I’m from North County and during the weekends I usually see 2 a Crystal Black Pearl & Championship White. Now, since I have my own CTR I don’t see those 2 CTRs. I see more Ford Focus RS and Subaru WRX STi. I hope the owners of them 2 CTR didn’t swap cars because now I feel the only CTR in my area

I hardly see any in the wild. Most I see are:
1) at the dealer or
2) at a cars and coffee.

Sad really.

I've seen maybe 3-4 on different days in my area. PMMs, CWs, etc. I also work with two other CTR owners.

2018 PMM CTR
Country flag
The first one I saw was a Polished Metal Metallic one that parked in our parking garage for about a week. I didn't know the car had been released then and haven't seen it since. Then I had one fly around me on the highway into work (not sure the color, but I saw the wing and tri tipped exhaust), saw a CW one when I stopped by my local dealership to get off the CTR waiting list and then I see a Aegean Blue Metallic one parked along the highway on the way home from time to time. Have yet to see the CBP or RR yet.

I just drove about 500 miles across north carolina hitting all the cities. Asheville, hickory, Greensboro, winston Salem, Durham, Raleigh, wilmington.... not one. Didn't see one. But that's one reason I bought it. I like having a car that when you go somewhere there is not 14 others in the parking lot. In my town of asheville nc I know there are 3 or 4 others but I have never seen them out. I have seen like 20 stingers, countless focus, Subaru, velosters. Like I said not having one every other stop light was one reason I bought it.

I've seen 4 in the wild (other than mine) 2 CWs, 1 PMM (on the way home from buying mine) and an RR. I kinda like mine being rare in my area of Bradenton FL.

2019 CW CTR

I've seen 3 total in my area (Raleigh/Cary, NC). There was a CW I used to see in Cary fairly often at a shopping center but I haven't seen it in months. Saw a black one the day before I bought mine and then a PMM one yesterday while I was stuck in traffic on my way to work.
