Default Mid-size lux demographics

Thought y'all at CL would appreciate this.

From another forum:



Don't know how recent this data is. Also don't have any other charts like this (wish I did, though).

Do you consider that statistic a bad thing?

I consider it more of a thing to note, rather than good or bad. But I am an impartial observer. If I were in Audi management, I would be extremely concerned.

I assume this is BMW-provided, as the font looks like theirs. So naturally they highlight the 5-series strengths, as they should.

In terms of data interpretation, I wonder how these numbers would stack out dimensionally when sales figures are taken into account, for instance a larger sales figure overall might have a greater demographic spread by ethnic group. I'm also looking at which of the cars are closer to the total midsize luxury market average. And what was the average price paid.

And of course while there is a tendency with these charts to look at the differences, there is a great amount of overlap.
