Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. One down... leased a '16 Accord today. Was very surprised at the great performance of the 4 cylinder, and it actually felt more tossable than the V6 I drove. $309 per month for 30 months, with $2500 down. A lot of car for the money. Heck, when I get rid of my S5 and lease something with reasonable lease payments that should make up the difference.
Great deal for a car that looks nice, has great fit/finish, is reliable and has the latest tech like Apple Carplay. I sent the pics to my cousin and she loves it.

Hard to go wrong with an Accord. There is a reason why it sells in such huge numbers.

for your car, indeed audi lease is horrible. that's mostly why our next car likely won't be audi, as much as i like the s7. for you, you can lease a m3/m4 for less and i think those cars are very practical. if you have to do sedan, i think you can lease a 550 for less as well and again very fast and nice car. e class probably will be on the expensive side. is the gs350 lease coming down again? unless you can get the old deals like 13-15 personally i wouldn't get it.
For the price of a GS lease right now I would look elsewhere for probably the same money.

Look at and test drive the new S5. Might be the right timing for when you turn your S5 in. But if you want more performance, there is nothing stopping you from the M's. AMG's and F's in this world. But one word of advice, once you go M's, or AMG's, you will never go back. I did and I sold my S5 as fast as I financially could.
Good luck with the search for the ride..

The car is really quiet. I've driven it on local streets and on the highway. Very little road noise in the new one.

GS leases are not good right now because the residuals are not good although probably more realistic. I wanted to get a BMW 3 series or Audi S3 and as much as I liked them, their lease deals weren't that good. The IS350 leases right now are good so that's what I am getting because they lease a lot better right now and I just need a small daily driver. I wanted something different but the value wasn't there.

GS leases have really dropped to low and competitive numbers here in L.A. within the last few weeks. They are great contenders right now. But it's actually a scam in my opinion. They are marketing the much weaker 2.0T at the same lease price as last year's more powerful V6. As if people are not going to notice the horsepower deficit between the two. Personally, I could care less about the two engine differences. But Lexus is pulling a fast one over the general public's eye. You are getting less car for the money this year, even though the leases have dropped.

I financed my '13 GS F Sport, didn't lease it. I remember kicking myself because of some of the lease programs I saw at the time. Seems they just aren't there anymore. Time to move on.
