"buy a spare with super low miles and hang onto it"?

Why would you do that with something that is still depreciating?

You're right, it "almost" makes sense.

You can blame it more on the popularity of new crossovers for their sales volume, carrying capacity and active families. There seems to be at least one at every household in my community. Also the full size trucks with rear seating. Some very well equipped with a lot of luxury features. It has hurt the large sedans sales. And resale. If anything, the execs are filling a need at a greater profit level. If they didn’t, the competition would grab the larger sales volume. After having crossovers for a while, they do become less enjoyable to drive. Sedans are more comfortable and handle better. You can get 26 MPG on a highway.
