Should I instantiate variable that will hold the return type from a method call?

Question

I have a CarSpecs class and I have a service with a method called GetCarSpecs who's return type is of CarSpecs. Should I call the method like this:

CarSpecs carSpecs = service.GetCarSpecs();

Or is there a reason why it would make sense to instantiate the CarSpecs class first before calling the method in the service like this:

CarSpecs carSpecs = new CarSpecs();
carSpecs = service.GetCarSpecs();

Answer 1

No, there is no need to instantiate an additional object that wil just be discarded.
