Someone pointed out earlier that we buy our G37s to drive em. I definitely agree, but I shot myself in the foot with a 10k lease. Wasn't entirely my fault as my previous job was 3 miles from my house.

It is really 9k more than the GTI? Thats crazy. I just think its neat for being unique, rare, and AWD Turbo. I think I rather that than the .:R32 for that matter..How do you think you will fare getting out of your lease? May be tough.

I may have exaggerated though, it may be a 7-8k difference (with sunroof and nav on both). It is a sweet car, but like I said wasn't worth it to me. Especially since it will be my daily commuter/beater. 60mi daily roundtrip to work will kill value fast.

I certainly hope I can get out of my lease sooner than later. Its only $375/mo with 16 months and 13.5k miles remaining. Definitely an attractive price to someone who would not need to drive it much.
