Abstract

[fre] Posséder une automobile était un privilège il y a trente ans. Aujourd'hui disposer d'une voiture est devenu la norme dans presque toutes les catégories de population. L'automobile reste cependant porteuse d'inégalités sociales. Son accès exige des sacrifices chez les familles les plus démunies; la multipossession, qui s'est développée rapidement depuis dix ans, est surtout le fait des plus aisées; le choix du modèle traduit les possibilités et les comportements des différents groupes sociaux. Enfin, jeunes et citadins sont davantage clients des marques étrangères. [eng] The Automobile, a Commonplace Good - Owning an automobile was a privilege thirty years ago. Today, having a car has become the norm in almost all categories of the population. Nevertheless, the automobile remains an area in which there are social inequalities. Its ownership requires sacrifices within the poorest families; multiple ownership, which has developed rapidly over the past ten years, is primarily found among the wealthiest segments of the population; finally, the choice of the model expresses the financial possibilities and the behavior of the different social groups. Lastly, young people and city dwellers tend more often to buy foreign marks. [spa] El automóvil, un bien común - Treinta años atrás, el poseer un automóvil constituía un privilégio. Hoy día, el disponer de coche particular esta al alcance de casi todas las categorías de la población. El automóvil permanece, no obstante, objeto de desemejanzas sociales. Su adquisición requière sacrificios por parte de las familias menos acomodadas; el poseer varios coches, costumbre que se ha ido extendiendo rápidamente de diez años acá, es atributo de los más acomodados; el escogimiento del modelo pone de manifiesto los medios y comportamientos de los di versos grupos sociales. Finalmente, jóvenes y ciudadanos de las urbes adquieren más pronto turismos de marcas extraderas.
