Alright, I know we are all a bit biased on this topic, but here are my three choices for the next car.
A.) 2007 (maybe 08) 328xi - Premium, Sport, Cold Weather and Nav.
B.) 2008 A4 3.2 - Sline, Premium Package
C.) 2008 Mercedes C300 4matic - Premium I, Sports Model
Alright, the pricing for all three cars are in the same ballpark with the Audi having the highest payment on a lease. I have to admit my favorite is the MB (styling alone) and the Audi is currently #3 on the list (as they are remodeling the A4 for 2009) which leave old faithful BMW in the #2 spot. Hands down the new Benz 300 Sport looks the best, but of course the BMW drives like a beast. Now, take into account I am currently driving my fourth 3 series and leaning toward making a change. I honestly would prefer a 335xi, but around my next of the woods they are leasing around $600 with $3k out of pocket. Considering that my current lease is way under that - I am thinking 328xi and not happy about it.
Yes, I know - I only have 15 posts, but thats because I mainly posted on E46 fanatics. Thanks for the input!
