Anyone leasing?

Makes sense. They can't put a residual value on it. No history/nothing to compare it to. I'm feeling that if you get a lease quote it's going to be expensive since they will give it a real low residual to be safe. There is nothing worse for a finance company than to be upsidedown when they get the car back!

Sterling Heights?
No, New Hudson (near Novi). The dealer said mine was the only one that arrived in the area. I told them you got one in Sterling Heights also.

kewl....Ended up getting mine in Roseville..... So there is a white one still available in Sterling HeightsNo, New Hudson (near Novi). The dealer said mine was the only one that arrived in the area. I told them you got one in Sterling Heights also.
Not unless he had them painted. This is one of my pet peeves about the car. Why wouldn't you paint the mirrors to match the body paint? On the other colors they match, but not the black. You almost can't tell, unless you're standing there looking at it though.
I plan on going the Audi S4 route and put on the chrome one's that people were putting on the G8's.

Can you share the MF and residual? Or at least contact info for this broker?

It works for me cause it lowered the bar on the monthly enough to make it work. I couldn't get a 1.75 lowest I found near here was 2.84. Overall it cost me the interest on the 21k residual at the end whatever that may be since I plan on keeping it.

Leasing
The availability of lease financing tightened up quite a bit with all of the financial craziness 5 years ago. Most leasing companies go by the American Leasing Guide to establish the residual values and until the ALG publishes those, they have nothing to peg the number to. Probably a smaller more independent (dealer owned) leasing company might be willing to roll the dice, but the bigger ones probably won't until there is a little bit of a history.
With the G8 I suspect GM was still able to cram it through GMAC with the thinking that residuals would be similar to a Grand Prix...just guessing on that.
