C. Today’s cars are more durable than cars made in the past due to advances in production technology.
D. The purchase or lease of new cars must be explained by something other than the ability of cars to serve the demands of everyday driving.
E. Cars should not last as long as they do now.

A. This option seems true in general but it opposes what is stated in the given argument. The argument states that 'the average older car is well equipped to meet the common daily demands of running errands and commuting to work', implying that the old cars have better performance.
B. The phrase 'original drivers' is misleading here. It might seem that if an American leases a car every five years, so this statement must be true but it fails to address the situation of the new buyers. The correct answer should support both the segments of buyers, i.e., the one who purchases a new car and the one who purchases a car on a lease.
C. Wrong comparison. The comparison between cars made in the past and the cars made in the present is nowhere mentioned in the argument. Also, technological advancement is out of scope.
D. This option statement takes into account both the purchase and lease of new cars. As per the argument, cars that are more than 12 years old are performing well. Nevertheless, the typical American driver buys or leases a new car every five years. Therefore, there should be some solid reasoning which must explain why it happens.
This choice mentions that there must be an explanation other than the ability of cars to serve the demands of everyday driving which results in American drivers buying or leasing a new car in less than 12 years. Therefore, it is the correct choice.
E. Irrelevant. Not the concern of the argument.
Hope it helps!
