You obviously see it differently.

Cool! Assuming we are a car manufacturer and are trying to figure out our marketing and production schedule, please tell me what conclusion would you draw from the data points presented?

We only have these two data points. No breakdown by region, wealth, education, gender, are they a legacy brand buyers, etc.

86 - Average age 52.5 and 70% automatic.
BRZ - Average age 37.5 and 70% manual.
Those are average ages. They do not say that 50 and over are the ones making up the majority of the AT buyers. You are assuming that since the average is higher it is the older end buying the cars. It is completely probable that the exact opposite of your assertion is what is really happening and it it the group under 50 that are the major buyers of the AT.
As you pointed out there is not enough data points to say that it is a certain group buying a certain transmission.
