To piss us off further, http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4929 indicates that the US lease rate is 6.84% (0.00285 money factor) vs our 7.75%. |

I'm not sure about being bait and switch, but I do think it's gouging. I think we should expect the rates to be higher, especially since it's a new model. I don't think it's reasonable to have a new model introduced at 2.9%, I've never seen any auto maker do that. With that said, I definitely think the rates is too high, especially when you take into account what the US get.
