Is anyone else thinking about leasing an XC90 instead of buying one because of:

(1) concerns about first year reliability,
(2) lack of certain options for 2003 (e.g. telematics in the US) and,
(3) rumors of a better transmission for the T6 (or a bigger engine) coming in later model years?

While I originally hadn't considered the lease option, it starting to look appealing for the above reasons.

Has any leasing information been announced yet?

Leasing info will be out in November.

Even if you are concerned about the above points, keep in mind that if you leased you would at least do so for 39 months or more...if reliability was going to be an issue then you would not be a happy camper either way. If you buy the XC90, 80% of people trade within 4 years or so, so you are on the same boat. And a lease agreement is extremely hard to break.
