Those that lease
When your lease is up, would you keep or lease another one? I was dead set on either option (still have 21 months left anyway), until my wife just bought a 2018 Audi SQ5. It might be an SUV, but it drives like an S4, which I would seriously consider next.

She got the truck last weekend and they were going to "get me out" of mine, but they werent going to swallow all those payments left, some of them. Anyway, I can wait, but her car is just amazing. It shifts so smooth and pulls very hard.

I will take a long look at the Accord hybrid. IS is a bit on the cramped side.

The pursuit of F
I transferred my lease. I went for a loaded Stinger GT AWD Limited (HUD, AVS, TVD, Nappa Leather, Harmon Kardon, 360 Cam, heated rear seats, and the list goes on). It's the price of an IS300 AWD F Sport Series 2, here in Canada!
Nicely refined, lots of tech, and powerful. It's all the performance and 98% the refinement of an S5 Sportback at 70% the price. If you can get over the badge and you like the styling, it's a tough one to beat.

I was in the same boat 8 months ago when my lease was up. I had 3 choices :
1) Lease another IS because I had very good rates, my brother being a sales director : wasn't a big enough stepup for me, and I wasn't ready to give up RWD because they don't make them anymore here.
2) Lease a Giulia : selling at MSRP + having the lowest residual I had seen turned me off
3) Purchase it : reliable, driven only by me, good value, RWD is discontinued so that makes it unique here
Ended up purchasing it because it was the best financial decision.
