Leasing is a whole different mentality. 95% of the people who are leasing aren't even considering keeping the car. They take the lease because they get a new car every three years, which is what they want. Take a look at some of the numbers on lease returns: very few folks keep *any* make of leased car past the lease end. Most all leases have roughly the same return rate - that includes BMW's Lexi's, etc. Years ago, nobody leased a car. Nowadays, dealers push the alleged lower monthly cost of a lease hard, and lots of folks get sucked in. It has a whole lot more to do with prices and selling strategy than it does with the NG series.
