And what are the pollution costs of even manufacturing a new vehicle, VS one that's already in place?

We can't manufacture our way to using fewer resources.

You can, though. There are many lifecycle analyses using actual data to calculate the tradeoff point.

We can't manufacture our way to using fewer resources.

Why not? Seems like a pretty simple formula: if it costs X amount of resources or pollution to save Y amount of resources or pollution per unit time, the break-even point is whenever Y times time exceeds X.
