"Young people don't care about cars anymore." It seems it's hard to go more than a few months without reading another installment of this story as fear grips boardrooms in Detroit or Tokyo or Wolfsburg. Executives worry that "kids today" are too distracted by smartphones, the Internet, and video games to follow the preceding generations into their showrooms. I'm not convinced.
