The residuals on the S5 are higher than on the A5 and pretty much wipes out the price differential.

I already own an A4 and want a coupe. The 335xi drives better but I am just drawn to the exterior styling of the A5 and , as always, the beautiful interior of the Audi.

I'ver run several leases on 48-50k range A5's. There's no way that car is over 1000 month with 5k out of pocket. S5 residuals are better, but that payment is way out of line, even at MSRP.
 
It can also be the end of the year as well. 09's wil be here in a matter of weeks on some dealers lots, so the residuals are getting bad.
 
But may guess is the money rate factor has been bumped by the dealer. You can easily manipulate 100/150 month on a 50k car with adding multiple points to the money rate factor.

Do you think once the new '09's start showing up there will be some better deals? Any discounting from MSRP? lower money factors or higher residuals? I don't think i can justify paying $200 more a month for the A5 over the IS350 -- even though i'm trying to!

I don't think 09's will be a better deal. My guess is that Audi will raise prices on both models some.
 
The lease deals will continue to be average on the A5 / S5. With such a demand and limited production, there's no need for Audi to care about sweet lease deals.
 
It's usually better to lease a car at the beginning of the model year, rather than the end if it's a popular model.
 
The A5 will not need year end cash and incentives to get them off the lot as 08's are mostly sold out.

well, though the A5 is a very nice looking car with a good performance I will go for the 535xi due to the lease rates.

I have an A5 hitting the port on July 7th. I have been told by the dealer GM that the current lease program expires on July 3rd and after the 4th Audi will publish the new lease program.
 
I completely agree that anything over 700 a month for a 49K car is absurd and even that number is stupid. If it comes in at $700 I will take it otherwise I will look at something else with some value.

as attractive as the styling of the A4 might be, I'd rather be in a G37 because the prices are hundreds less per month.

Go with the BMW, you will pay much more on a lease for the A5/S5.
