It's been studied extensively, Gen Y isn't buying cars because of cell phones and computers, it's economic forces. If we could all afford houses in the suburbs with white picket fences like the Baby Boomers could we'd be buying cars like crazy for our commutes just like the 60s-80s.
Instead we struggle to save on top of paying ever rising rents and decreasing buying power, buy the used 10 year old Camry for <$10k and hope it lasts you for 5+ years without major maintenance and by the third job in that time you might be able to afford a new car.
