I received the following numbers from VCNA after wondering how many cars were made with my specifications.
I'm almost sure that my R is unique in North America with Sonicama, M/T and Sport Package based on these figures
> The production figures are:
>
> Model Year 2006 S60R
> Sonic Blue - 186
> Atacama - 14
> Automatic - 136
> Manual - 50
>
> Model Year 2007 S60R
> Sonic Blue - 37
> Atacama - 7
> Automatic - 21
> Manual - 16
I don't want to mass email the guy since he was kind enought to provide me wit this information, so we'll see what numbers JRL gets after contacting him.
I don't know, but I think Sonic Blue might be overall more rare than Flash Green. My logical for saying that is simply because of overall production of R's was lower in '06 - '07.

I don't think so, I see Sonics all the time around here, not many FG's and not any lately at all
Passion Red is very rare. I have only seen pictures of one other posted... and it was an 06 not an 07...
It would be an interesting read to see the production nunbers by colour by transmission into NA (Can/USA).
There is a fair amount of red R's around.
Now, I'm not saying there are more Flash Greens. I said maybe based on the fact that R production was higher in '04 and '05 compared to '06 and '07.
No matter who color you have, though, you have a pretty rare car.
If you drive a Flash Green V70R with Atacama you have a darn rare car. If you have a Sonic Blue V700.R with Atacama you also have a darn rare car (and in my opinion too loud of a color combo). When I picked my R in Goteborg there was a Sonic Blue R with Atacama sitting there at the factory store. IMO it was a little too much. Atacama looks incredible with pretty much all other R colors.
I am having a REALLY hard time finding a 2006 or 2007 MT R with 20k miles or less in Sonic Blue.... I have found ALL other color combinations, but NO sonic blue and it is getting really frustrating!!

That's because very few were made. Maybe just a few 100.
My guess would be silver or black sapphire for most common.
