So you are saying that we NEED to buy 17 million cars and trucks each and every year here in the United States? I highly doubt that. Most of us could make the choice to roll our current wheels another year or two with no significant effect on our life except for the fatter wallet. The number required to replace the units truly at the end of their useful life is significantly smaller.
