My Take: Looks like the rates improved ever so slightly over the last two months. Compare July’s numbers with the quote I got last May and you’ll see why:

36mo/10k – residual 56% – lease rate 5.5% (MF .00229)
36mo/12k – residual 54% – lease rate 5.5% (MF .00229)

The MF is .00021 lower and the residual only dropped by about 1%. You aren’t really saving much to be honest you with. Maybe $2. As impressed as I am with the G8 GT, I still think there are better options out there for the price. Maybe things will improve in the coming months.
