Abstract

[fre] Emblématique de la société de consommation et de production de masse, l'automobile. connaît en France une diffusion qui, tant du point de vue de l'accès à la motorisation que de la distribution des différentes catégories de véhicules (marque, modèle, puissance, ancienneté et statut d'acquisition), fait apparaître des différences importantes entre les groupes sociaux. Entre ces derniers s'insinuent de nouveaux types de clivages (multimotorisation, progression de la place des marques étrangères, notamment). L'analyse conjointe des habitudes de déplacement et des caractéristiques d'équipement automobile des ménages motorisés en 2008 met en évidence l'articulation d'effets propres aux contraintes de mobilité et aux habitudes de déplacement, qui n'entament pas toutefois la robustesse des écarts entre groupes sociaux. Le statut d'acquisition des véhicules apparaît comme un marqueur social soumis à un cycle de diffusion et de banalisation que révèle l'accès socialement différencié au marché du neuf et de l'occasion. Il se combine au type de véhicule. Les voitures allemandes, en particulier les plus puissantes, apparaissent ainsi comme un marqueur spécifique de l'appartenance aux classes supérieures, en particulier chez les indépendants. Ces écarts soulignent les éléments de compétition statutaire et symbolique qui continuent d'entourer l'acquisition et les usages de l'automobile.
