1995 SC So with a lease the better the car holds it's value then the better you come out since the lease is basically paying the depreciation over the terms of the lease, correct? Assuming it isn't a factory subsidized lease to move a bunch of turds anyway. So if one isn't sure if the company is going to be around lease end, wouldn't that kill the residual and make these bad lease deals (or worse than a lease on something known to hold it's value)? I've always looked at leases as something companies that needed vehicles did.

Merc190 I'm confused. If the possibility of considering this is a reality, how might they consider it in the future? It seems that they are currently considering it but have not made a commitment. That said, I don't think they should, I lost a lot of respect for Ford's ST line when it got applied to SUV's with auto transmissions.
