That's all fine; none of it precludes voting with your wallet by e.g. buying an older car. It's not necessary for literally everyone to do this for it to have a noticeable impact on auto makers.

They might eventually ilegalize very old models due to emissions, but economically they can’t force you to drive latest models. That should hurt dealers and auto makers. In my country, I often see people buy Toyota Land Cruisers (which are built to last a lifetime of abuse) and upgrade every 2 years. New car is shiny, lets you show your friends, but it means you grossly overpaid for your previous car (bc you actually did not need that robustness for just 2 years), and you are now driving a spy on wheels.
