You can't say leasing is no good. It's different on every car, and different to every customer. The Z doesn't have a great lease, but you can't just say leasing is no good, it just may not seem good to you.

That, right there, is the premise of the thread. Leasing a regular car for your own personal reasons is one thing. Leasing a sports car is distinctly different; it just doesn't make a whole of sense given the stipulations and restrictions it puts on the driver's liberties.
Dealers make a healthy profit on leases. Please spare us the propaganda.
