I'd agree. If you're looking for a daily driver, grocery getter, family hauler, leasing isn't very attractive since the excess miles, wear and tear, etc. Better to purchase and keep for years.

But if you're the type that likes the latest and greatest, then leasing is a good way to go for the simple fact that you don't need to worry about depreciation and resale so getting out of the car is never a problem. And I'd assume the sport cars is "your baby" so it would get better care than the beater car.

A leasing option was one reason I when with my Audi TT rather than go with an Exige S last year. I could lease the TT for 3 years and by that time the Evora would be out. With the Exige S, I'd have to worry about resale (especially considering the Exige 240 and 260 and then the other Lotus owners selling their cars for the Evora).

I'd like to lease an Evora for may two or three years at which time the Evora S or updated Elise would be out. If I purchased an Evora, then I'd have to worry about resale/trade-in when the Evora S comes out. So, I'm hoping Lotus does have a decent leasing program with the Evora comes out.
