Joe - I also think you aren't looking at it in multiple perspectives.
You DO have a standing point, but as stated, for probably every MKIV getting scraped/molested/crushed, there are probably 10-15 MKIII's getting crushed. Tough? Think about it. MKIII's get crushed DAILY...I cannot say I've actually watched a clean MKIV SHELL get crushed (although I'm sure it's happened).
And just for the record, Joe...
In 1989 - 14,544 MA70 & MA71 Supra's were sold in the US.
From 1992 ('93 model) to 1998, In the US, there were 15,356 JZA80's manufactured.
So...Although close, there were more MKIV's than 89 MKIII's. :icon_wink
