Not all of us.

I'll keep my manual transmission sedan that handles well and doesn't connect to the internet to collect data on me until it collapses into a pile of rust.

Same. My car's turning 18 this year. It' still in good shape. I should be able to get a few more years out of it. After that? Who knows?

13 year old small pickup with a 2L and 5-speed: best car I ever bought. No computers, can haul a half ton of stuff and only uses 7-8L/100KM when commuting.

But they what? With few new small cars being built, the supply is dwindling, even in the used market.

I'm hoping that the trend will change by then. I've got about 10 more years. If it doesn't happen? I have no idea what I'll do.

That's assuming nothing unexpected happens. Weeks before our '05 (manual) Civic was totaled last May, my spouse and I were discussing how we could probably get 5+ more years out of it. We were (thankfully) able to get a '20 Golf, but VW has even discontinued that!
