My Take: Here are the numbers for the remainder of the Audi lineup. I would analyze each individual model, but there just aren’t any deals to be had here. The closest thing to a “deal” is the Q7, but it’s residual value is so bad that I really don’t recommend leasing any of these cars right now. Just for kicks, I will analyze the R8’s lease payments. I’ve always wondered how much one of these costs…

Haahaa. That was fun. I’ve seen mortgage payments cheaper than this. Heck, there are homes cheaper than this in parts of the US. Well, we can dream, right? I bet some of you are probably running your monthly budget in your heads right now just to see how a R8 would fit in it, huh? Heehee. I don’t blame you.
