My buddy just test drove the vantage and raved about the sound and fun it created. Of course its not going to be faster than the M5 but its a hell of a looker for the price (yeah 2500 miles a month is not gonna work for most) and it has that brilliant sounding AMG 4.0 M178 engine in it. Its a great option for a GT cruiser with a higher msrp. Its a lease so your warranty will cover any perceived issues.

But the factory has highly subvented these cars (Ally is the lessor) with huge rebates to get the payment as advertised. Being a reasonably smart car guy I will guess once one leases this car they will be stuck with it to term as getting out early will have a very low ACV. And as soft as an F90 is in the used market, any car that starts at 180k msrp or higher with this much factory input will get hurt. The key will be in getting the net cap of the cost even lower than advertised which means getting into the dealer holdback.
