My Take: This is the first Suzuki post I have ever made (and could possibly be the last if their sales don’t pick up) regarding their lease rates. The Kizashi is not a bad looking sports sedan, but I think Suzuki’s distribution channel (and their lack of notoriety) really hurts. The numbers for this sedan are so-so, but it’s a good choice if you are looking to buy out the car at lease-end since the residual is relatively low.
2010 Kizashi SLS AWD
36-month | 15k miles | residual 44% | .00037 base money factor
My Take: Recently, the CTS-V vested the M3 on a straight up comparison test on 
My Take: This isn’t really THAT bad if you think about it. I’ve seen much worse. This doesn’t exactly mean GM is back in the leasing business, but it’s a start.
My Take: Sorry folks, but I don’t have much in terms of numbers for Nissans this month. The 39-month lease for the Maxima SV looks decent, but I hear the cash incentives are gone. Keep your eyes out for this month’s Round-Up to see how the Maxima fares against the competition.
My Take: This is my second all-time Jaguar post, so enjoy it. Well, maybe not because the numbers look terrible. Please do yourself a favor and pass on this car.
Update: The Crosstour must be selling like crap because Honda seems to be trying to move that quite desperately. I am not very fond of this gigantic Accord due to it’s odd styling and poor driving dynamics, but I can’t deny it’s practicality. If you need room thought, I would opt for the Odyssey or the Pilot. Sure, they aren’t pretty either, but they get the job done.
My Take: Nothing too exciting here. The RX450h’s 48-month lease does look somewhat promising since the residual is pretty decent and the MF is not too bad either. Divide all that over 48-months and your payments should look manageable.
My Take: Sonata lease rates continue to look good, as a matter of fact, they look the same as last month. The Genesis looks decent, with the 2011 sedan looking much better than the couple right now. Of course, being a 2010, the coupe could get more substantial discounts to offset the higher MF.
