There's evidence that some people do, as you say. But I haven't seen evidence that it's a majority.
How am I projecting when I say most people take pride in their cars? How is this even a debate? If we truly treated them as a dishwasher, why drop $80k on an Audi S7? Either buy a no frills Corolla or take the bus. The car culture is huge as well as people's affinity towards them, their own or in general. Other than not be able to shop, my 93 year-old grandmother complains most about not being able to drive and my other grandmother who passed way last year at 94 missed her old Toyota.
