A decent number of people I know only lease cars. They upgrade cars faster then I upgrade my phone.



That's not representative though.

Imagine if the whole world refused to use any car older than 2 years... how many cars would have to be made every year? even if that made any economic sense, it certainly doesn't make any environmental sense. You might not think of it this way but those people you know are privileged, they would not be able to get a new car less than every 2 years unless there was a 2nd hand market. Cars need to last.
