CBB data shows the used market has split. Trucks and full-size vans are still falling week-over-week. Compact cars have stabilized. The two-speed market has direct trade-in implications.
Read the story →The Through-Line
Today’s three stories are about scarcity at opposite ends of the market. The Prelude is scarce because Honda built it that way — low-volume, single trim, Japan production. The used Pilot and Odyssey are experiencing the opposite problem: there’s no shortage of large vehicles in the used market, which is exactly why prices are still falling. The Passport landing on Car and Driver’s 10Best list for the first time sits in between — it’s the model that threads the needle between full-size capability and the editorial validation that makes the cross-shop easier for buyers who need a second opinion. The common thread: if you know what you want and when you need it, the options available right now are cleaner than they’ll be in 90 days. Prelude buyers don’t have 90 days. Truck trade-in sellers may not want to wait that long either.
