You may want to do some math to get a better 'picture':
X divided by Y times 100 equals Z - percentage of manual transmissions per year.
X/Y x 100 = Z
Given:
Y equals the number of cars manufactured per year.
X equals the number of manual transmissions sold with
1. All cars, OR
2. With just the FR-S/BRZ the car.
Z equals percentage of manual transmission sold per year.
UPDATE:
2013 total production for the
BRZ (automatic
and manual): 8000 vehicles (X,2). A generous estimate.
World production (2012): 84,000,000 (Y)
8000 divided by 84,00000 x 100 = 0.009 % That's about one one hundredth of one per cent the amount of manual transmissions of BRZ vs the world. and less if brz automatics are not included in the math. So "70%" don't mean much more than one titmouse dropping.

not really saying MT is better than AT here.
but to note that we, as enthusiasts, showed the manufacturers that there are still market for MT option.
