Automakers sure do make a lot of leases though.

(re your comparison of selling and renting)

As I understand it, from an automaker's perspective a lease is a sale. They're just selling it to a third party instead of the leasee.

Yes, they do. If they do sell the cars, it will probably be for the reasons I pointed.

I'm not saying they will sell them. But the ROI one is a likely possibility.
