Also, 400k+ on one vehicle (even a suburban) is still better environmental-wise than buying a new hybrid or eco-minded car every 3-5years. It takes a LOT of resources to build a car.

That might resemble valid reasoning if (and only if!) people took their 3-5 y.o. cars to the junk yard! They don't, they sell them on the used market, and the cars get typicaly over a decade more of use.
