To me there are a few governing factors.
Marque and model as described by Howard for Ferrari. Also similar for Ford...look at Mk1 escorts and other similar marque niches of limited numbers of cars with provenance os special status.
Legislation in the form of eco/safety/cash cow situation.
Attitudes also comes into it based on age of owner, disposable income, ability to maintain, hobby status.
At the moment EV/hybrid is flavour of the month coupled with the “need” for tech in cars. Add to this the method used or financing of a car, its disposability, status symbol etc.. fashion is becoming increasingly visible too. SUV/colour schemes, eco badges.......
But unless alternatives to personal car ownership become sensible and available cars are here for some time. In a city/urban area perhaps less so. Rural....definitely a must have.
Remember...car ownership has opened up personal mobility hence the increase in numbers.
I see a huge change in attitude to transport/mobility being needed for the eco issues alone to be met.
A complex and emotive future is looming!
Me? I’ll keep my Mog for as long as possible for my own enjoyment.
