I have my doubts.
I believe the younger generation(s) look at cars merely as a tool to get from A to B. Absolutely no passion. I see many millennials turning toward EVs and buying Teslas or Hybrids.
I had a long discussion with a good friend who holds a rather high position at American Honda.
The reason was I was looking for a new car and recognized that one car I liked did not have Navigation. Upon digging deeper I saw that from eight 2020 models of that car on the lot, only one had Navi. While it wasn't a Honda, my friend confirmed, that this is a trend and the manufacturers are going away from that option because everybody is using the cell phone.
This is only one minor issue how things are changing.
The salesman at Audi tells me that the company is experimenting with a completely new concept in certain markets, where the customer buys on-line only. The car is delivered through the dealer after purchase, but the personal relationship with the salesperson is going away. Millennials are not into personal face-to-face dealings anymore.
Feel free to disagree, but we will see how this pans out in the next few years.
