Another "what should I get" thread
Insurance company is totaling my GS (3rd gen), and I'm tired of driving the rental Nissan Versa I have now 
So i'm looking to get into something this weekend. Honestly, I'm all over the map. I want to lease this time, since i switch cars pretty often and I dont drive much anymore. Must be under $50k and new.
My current list:
A5
G37 sedan (had a 07 sedan, but they're offering 24 month leases for a great price now)
acura TSX (i'm sure i'm in the minority, but i actually like the way these look)
335 sedan
The a5 stands out as the only coupe, and I'm not sure I want a coupe, but they look so sexy.
Anything else i should check out? If you know of any good lease specials going on now, feel free to throw that out there.

Well the new G err Qwhatever debuts next month if you don't mind the old model. I am tempted too cause the 24 month lease as a cheap as a bar tab 
Its a lot of car for the money.
TSX is older also going to be discontinued so no bueno and does nothing really well
A5 looks great, drives good, did I mention looks great Just got the MMC too so its fresh
335 sedan, the new one is really good the usual nice blend of luxury and sport and the added space is nice. I think it looks great with a painted grill.
If you are interested, the GS is leasing really well right now and Lexus has some good incentives on it. Its really a fantastic driving vehicle and the interior is top notch.

I hated the new GS looks when it came out, but I'll admit it's growing on me. I might have to go drive one

Lexus Fanatic
If you can stomach the BMW I-Drive (which I can't), I'm otherwise in agreement with Paul (bitkahuna) on the 335i...especially the xi AWD model if you are in an area with bad weather. Not a cheap car by any means, but, IMO, it wrote the book on being the ideal combination of driving feel, steering/chassis-engineering, and the ideal ride-handling balance. And, even at its price, it offers, IMO, substantially better value for the money, as a street-car, than the significantly more expensive M3.
Of course, BMWs usually can't equal Lexus in the reliability department. If reliability is the main issue, check out an IS or other Lexus.

I believe it's only sedans. PM'd you with dealer location
The more I think about it, the more I lean towards the infiniti. It's just too good of a deal to pass on. It's hard to justify $300 more per month for the A5 or 335, plus they would be 36 month leases.

The G lease is almost too good to pass up. I'm being offered $270 per month, $0 down, 24 months. That's about half of what I was planning on spending, plus it's only 2 years, a little extra money in my pocket never hurts.

I was waiting for the new IS so I could decide between a 3-series and the new IS....but maybe I should just go get a GS for a few years, and then make that decision in 2 years. Hmmmmm.... I just wish it had a V8.

So i got into the dealership and got all the details:
Price was for the g37 premium with nav, 10k miles per year. It was "$0 down" but they're still charging registration, first month, and other fees due at signing. So it's not a sign & drive
I need 12k miles per year, and after looking at them I would need the Sport package. Same down, but payment goes up to $325.
It's not as good as I originally thought, but it's still pretty damn good. I also priced out a 328i sedan with M sport package, premium, and tech. 39 month lease, same out of pocket down as the infiniti, about $525/mo.
So now I have to decide if the 3 series is worth $200 more per month
