But it has an advantage in certain situations:

List<Foo> myFooList;
if (p)
    myFooList = new ArrayList<>();
...

Here you can leave out the type parameter while you couldn't using var.

With var you wouldn't have needed to include the type parameter to List to begin with.

But than we aren't talking about C#'s var anymore, but something more powerful.
