EXACTLY! And trying to draw a line from age of buyers to age of tranny type based on what an individual's friends drive or a poor assumption is a fools game at best.

It is ironic that many of the "older" people refer to MT as a "standard" because not that long ago the MT was the norm and At was the exotic option. I personally have to make a conscious effort not to call them standards anymore because anybody under the age of 50 or so will just look at you with a blank stare if you use the term.
