I think there are another two reasons not mentioned in the article. One is the surge in electric car sales, many people are still on the fence and want to wait a year or two before they decide if they want to move to an electric car. That's why they don't sell their own car yet. The other reason is that in a certain time during the last 20 years there was a sweet sport of car reliability when cars were not too sophisticated but also got rid of all their childhood deficiencies and they can simply go forever. All those corollas and their ilk are just there and not going anywhere so people has no reason to buy new cars instead of those.
