Yesterday's front page article about the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , paired with my recent car hunt, got me wondering about production numbers. I know, based on trying to find one, that the Outback XT is an uncommon car (107 currently for sale on the entirety of Craigslist, coast-to-coast), and the (better) 07-09 models are straight up rare (18 on CL), doubly so if you want it with a manual (5). This was the challenge I faced finding my car, and it got me wondering how many were actually made. So I turn to the font of knowledge that is Oppo.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Does anyone here know where I can find out how many Outback XT's were actually made? Double internet points for a year-by-year breakdown, and quad points for a manual/auto breakdown. ALL TEH INTERNETS for anyone who can take it a step further and provide color production data as well.

I usually just find them on Wikipedia. Sometimes it's in the info box on the right, other times it's buried in the text. It's usually there though.

I remember trying to find this with my Forester XT. I stumbled upon at subaruforester.org, but I couldn't verify it anywhere. I suspect its pretty rare as only 500 or so Forester XT 5 speeds made it to the us in 2004 and 2005 (500 each year)

Good luck.
I've tried to find similar figures for other cars. If they don't pop up in the first couple results when searching for "[make] [model] production numbers" they're probably not on the internet.

There's a lot of Subaru info on cars101.com even if it takes you a bit to navigate through it all

'05 seems to have been the big year for Outback XT's. Of the 107 on Craigslist, 73 are 2005s (22 manuals, 51 autos).

Going through old posts and found this one. I found a way to get the approximate production numbers for the OBXT, which also works for the FXT. When I went to look up my car in the Auto Zone app it asked year, then make, then model, then engine. On the engine page it mentioned 4% of 2008 Outbacks had the 2.5 Turbo. By multiplying the total number of Outbacks sold by 4% I got a rough figure of the number of XT’s sold that year. I know the 2005 XT (the only year Subaru released production numbers) was 20% manual, 80% automatic. By those stats I was able to approximate 1,800 XT’s and 375 manuals.
Using the same app and math for the Forester: 58,424 Foresters sold in 2004, with 17% of them packing the turbo. That makes 9,932 FXT’s in ‘04. 20% manual = 1,986.
For 2005: 53,541 Foresters sold, 11% turbo, = 5,889. 20% manual = 1,177
