By this are you asking if the sales are to older people but the actual driver is the child of the buyer? My understanding is no, older people were buying the Xb for themselves. This is only recollection because I can't find the article but apparently it's part of Toyota's concern on the brand. They don't quite know what to do because they meant it for this segment over here but it ended up being bought by that segment over there- so they actually cut into sales they were expecting to make on other products by stealing buyers from themselves.
Hope my sentence structure made sense there. I can't seem to think clearly at the moment.
