How rare are black R2s and base models? (94-95 only)

well, subject says it all. Just wondering how many '94-'95 were imported into the U.S. that were black, 5 speed R2s or base models. Anyone know?

I think only 450 R2's were made. So I guees take some off of that and you get your total. They are pretty rare, especially 95 R2.

I'll bet it was a special order, for some Mazda guy. Probably using a color they offered on another model.
