People buy a new car generally every 5-7 years.

furthermore there does not seem to be any great brand loyalty in the market

maybe because of being afraid of dying but probably not, but given how often people buy new cars (not that often) and the lack of loyalty, I think it would not make any sense from a business perspective to give a damn if the customers die (disregarding moral perspective which I'm sure is a primary concern for automotive manufacturers)

Do you have a source for that five to seven years period? I skimmed your link but it does not seem to prove your point.

The average car is 12 years old. You don't junk that old car you move it on to someone else

		> The average car is 12 years old. That's not the same statistic though: If the only car in the world was manufactured 20 years ago and had 4 owners, then the average ownership-duration would be 5 years, a much smaller number. ____ Survey says [0] people tend to cycle vehicles in 8 years.
