My Take: GLK and the G are a big NO-NO this month, just look at the money factors. The GL looks much better but there aren’t any cash rebates to help with the lower-than-ideal residual value. It is safe to say that the “glory days” of auto leasing are officially over. You will start finding fewer models with attractive lease offerings from now on, which makes doing your research that much more important if you wish to continue leasing.
