As the OP says if people took pride in their purchases and kept hold of them longer and cared for them then there would be fewer cars to chase and they would be worth much more
It is not non-car people or cars per se. Its the american system of living. We are consumers.... we enjoy the latest and greatest while living pay check to pay check without actually having any money to own things. We just rent them...

want a new laptop? sure... X dollars a month and its yours
want a new iPhone? sure... x dollars a month and you can have a new one every year
want a new car? sure... what kind of PAYMENTS are you looking for?

its hard to appreciate things you don't own, never saved up for and merely rent. you'll trade it for a new one every other year with 70% of its life left. most of us don't even have enough money in our savings account to pay for 1 month of utilities/rent, yet we are surrounded with the latest tech.

Kids in a 3rd world country would keep a cell phone for 10 years, if they're even lucky enough to own one. kids in this country jump into the pool with one... because insurance !
