My read is that Toyota is trying to find a way to continue to make money from sales but without strictly producing new cars. Overall, if this program is not extending the useful life of their products, it's not a gain for the environment. Toyotas have positive resale value up to an average of 210,000 [0]. After that point the cost of maintaining them is (theoretically) greater than the resale value. It seems they are targeting a refresh about every 3 years, and doing that 2 times. The lifetime would then come in at about 10 years, which is right in the ballpark of 200,000 miles.
