My Take: Same thing as before. Just watch for the following things:
Multiply the money factor by 2400 to get the interest rate you are being charged.
Any residual value below 50% should warrant HEAVY consideration BEFORE leasing.
Don’t forget to factor sales taxes.
Use can use TruCar.com to get an idea of the price range you are looking at. They seem to be fairly accurate (but not precise).
I’d like to add that .00150 MF is pretty solid (X5 48i). Don’t forget MSDs if necessary. That should save you some money in the long run.

Update 2: I just go an email from 
My Take: A bit early for a manufacturers to be rolling out the 2011s, but its alright since the new Sonata is a very good looking ride. The residual values are strong and the money factors are very attractive. Factor in a relatively reasonable sale price and you got yourself a pretty sweet deal. Saw this car at the LA Auto Show last December and I think this will be an excellent alternative to those looking at the Accords, Camrys and Altimas.
My Take: Lease rates on the G37 are pretty much unchanged from February. If you are an existing IFS customer, you will still qualify for the $1000 loyalty cash which is set to expire at the end of the month. I add the 2009 Convertible numbers in there as well, which actually look pretty solid. You may want to drop a few MSDs on it to drop the MF a bit. Last month, I got an offer on the base G37 sedan for $30,388, which was a great price. Of course you won’t come close to that number without the loyalty cash.
My Take: GMAC is back into the leasing business and they are trying to make things interesting by providing some lease support on the more popular SRX and CTS models. I still think the residuals are bit low, but not that seems to be the case with a lot of manufacturers these days. The CTS does have a very low money factor, so it’s worth a look. The SRX isn’t all that bad either, but I would prefer it to be in the low .00100s or lower. Either way, its worth checking out if you are in the market for something like the X3 or the Q5. This could be a decent alternative.
My Take: Honda is currently providing 0.00127 money factor for those of you who opt for a “Sign and Drive” (Acura is doing the same). That’s good since it saves you some money and requires nothing out of pocket. When it comes to leasing, it is preferred to avoid putting money down because in the event of a “total-loss” accident or theft, you may not get back the money you’ve put down. There was very
