The Durango has been a pleasant surprise - it's hard to give up an American V8, even if the interior materials and build quality are a step (or two) below the X5, SQ5 they've had.
The MINI? Mrs. @breld is smitten with the color and the level of equipment, plus it's an S with a stick! But, they have been known to be fickle, so I'll go on record and state that the MINI will be replaced before Easter 2018.

Best odds are the Durango, in favor of some luxury rig, with the XC90 being the top choice at the moment. But who knows, the level of satisfaction on the Durango, which is pretty high as it is, only goes up as the loan goes down.
The Type R will always be subject to an opportunity, but only the right one. Like...maybe a nice manual m235i comes up. Or a good buy on an S5.

Minis are addictive, no doubt about it. I'm having trouble letting go. I think it'll have to do something REALLY bad (which it is entirely capable of doing btw).

(P.S. No word on the VW driver position but not surprised one bit. Think if the new guy they just hired leaves, they might call me in. If they could give me decent hours/decent $, I might leave Hertz but so far, nothing!)

findroll the dice on another used, well maintained diamond in the rough like I did with this one, or lease a full-size truck like qbrozen did. I don't want an $800+/month lease on a new full-size SUV.2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.

BMW has been slowly making it more expensive to lease over the last 12 months:
1. MF is creeping up .... was .00132 in the spring, now .00152
2. Elimination of the MSD program
3. Unfavorable terms for demos over 5000 miles
4. Unfavorable terms for fleet programs (no more .00020 MF discount)
5. Dealers are wising up - it's getting harder to get both the base MF and a substantial discount from sticker. You'll have to settle for one or the other.

Though rumor has it existing MSD customers in the BMWFS Eastern Region are being allowed to roll them over to a new lease, so maybe MSDs will make a return.

Yes, we've had some posters report that to us, as well.
But, the MF discount per MSD decreased from .00007 to .00005, so the total MF discount dropped to .00035 from .00049.
We've also heard that Audi may be dropping their MSD program, as well.
It's all a matter of information. With sites like ours leveling the playing field, the dealers and manufacturers (and their captive banks) are fighting back, and these are the tactics they are using.
At the moment, both Jaguar and Land Rover are running some excellent lease promotions - MF of .00001, decent residuals for odd lease terms (33 and 39 months, mostly). Problem is, a lot of the dealers are marking up the MF as much as .00100 (!!!), adding close to $100/mo to the lease payment.
And, I've been saying lately that LR dealers are allergic to discounting, so that doesn't help either.

I would bet after a dip in sales the agressive lease deals will return,
I’m in Georgia and with the ad valorem tax, leasing has pretty much become cost prohibitive.

So, leasing will get a lot less expensive come the new year.
So far as we know, MB is keeping their MSD program - 10 * .00007 reduction. And, they have reasonable MF's assigned.

good news (or bad?), after finally sitting in a new Accord (1.5t sport). I did not start banging myself in the head because I did not wait. It was nice enough. Very roomy. but did not immediately jump out at me as gotta have it. Possible though that a test drive could change that! Will be on the list in June for my anticipated shopping expedition though.
It did have one potential fatal flaw (oddly, the same thing that I am currently battling the Elantra over). I can't find a place to put my right knee. I love the Elantra, but am so far regretting selling myself on the driving position working. I thought I finally found a good one on the last test drive. So either I hallucinated, or need to search more.
I knew I was giving up some of my precious front cushion tilt, though I get enough of that back to get by if I push the seat low (not that I want to ride on the floor). But the killer so far is my knee hits the console at a really bad spot, and the edge is digging into my leg. And having trouble finding a seat setting where it does not bother me. Next step is to get some black foam padding to make a cushion. Hopefully that works.
Otherwise, nice car. Hoot to drive, quick, comfy enough, lots of features. Even getting good MPG. But if I can't get comfortable, it won't be around long (which is why having a built in exit strategy is nice, otherwise it might get traded in with 1,000 miles on it!).
though my drive home from the Honda dealer was not as bad. I will keep adjusting until I find something that is not too bad. But bad sign that the Accord had the same sort of angled design, and my knee hit it in roughly the same spot.
I did sit in a 2017 Accord too. That actually had better seats, and better designed console. But the best of the bunch, by far, was a CRV. That was really comfy!
