Try to not let your emotion take defense of the actuality.Ya well, I'm quoting the figure from caranddriver. You could claim to be John Porsche himself hand building manual 911's in your garage in Stuttgart but unless you can site aye sources I'm not inclined to believe you.
My source was the CEO... Article dated in 2001
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2001-01-11/a-chat-with-porsches-wendelin-wiedeking
"The Porsche customer has always been [relatively] young. [In the U.S.] the typical 911 buyer is 46 to 65, average age 52. Household income: $310,000. The Boxster buyer is 36 to 55, with an average age of 47 [and] an average income of $243,000. [Buyers are] entrepreneurs, doctors."
The fact that you site sources adds no validity when your argument is contextually inaccurate. A source is only relevant to the information applied.
I was not disputing the fact that manual is on a downward trend, I was simply stating that you can't compare the 911 or Porsche buyer to that of the Supra Buyer. The markets are completely different and so the take rates would reflect such.The correlation is direct and as simple as I originally said.
Bottom line. The average Porsche buyer is more established, more affluent, older. The desire for them wanting a manual transmission overall would be much different from that of a potential Supra Buyer. boom.
