MY TAKE: I started to find too many leases that got significantly worse so I felt that I probably needed to feature them individually since the “DO NOT LEASE” lease is getting WAY TOO LONG. As a result, I decided to start things off with the 09 Infiniti G37s. As much as I love these cars, I can’t find myself recommending them this month. The residual values are significantly lower than the 08 models, factor in the high money factors and you have a bad combination for a lease.

Quite hideous aren’t they? It is obvious that IFS is trying to steer us clear from the 24 month leases, but the 36 month leses aren’t look all that great either. I’m just glad I pulled the trigger when I did because last May/June’s rates were probably the lowest rates you will ever see for the G37s.
