My guess would be not many, seeing as I've only ever seen about 5 on the roads...........seems to be confirmed by howmanyleft.co.uk which suggests roughly 700 of each 200 and 300 sportcross exist currently.

The Sportcross came out at a time when Estates had become deeply unfashionable - nevertheless, there was still a core of people who saw the advantages to them over people-carriers or MPVs, particularly in the US. But car-maker's marketing people in an effort to make Estates seem cool, decided to give them new, silly & meaningless names, so potential buyers browsing through their offerings found things like "Touring" for BMW & "Sportcross" for Lexus and didn't realise they were estates! Why would they? So they went on and got a Volvo or maybe even a Ford or Peugot. A good case where marketing people allowed their own way shot themselves in the foot and wrecked their own niche market. Hence the rarity of Lexus or BMW etc. estates.
