Default A6 to A5...

Found a nice A5 3.2 S-line demo with every possible option that I test drove, and really liked how it felt. I would have to make a quick decision to purchase it.
Problem is, i have another 13 months on my 2008 A6 lease. Assuming i decide i want to get into a coupe, what do you guys think of these options?
- Transfer my lease (i would remain on the lease)to someone.
- Try to sell my car and have buyer buy it out (value seems fair according to KBB).
- This is a stupid idea and just hang on to my car. After all, i love my car, but tend to get "bored" about every couple of years

The dealer mentioned he has a customer looking for a pre-owned A6 who may be interested.
By the way the Drive Select was pretty impressive at how instantaneously and noticeably it altered the stiffness, steering feel, and shift pattern.

Go for it. The A6 will soon share the A5 MLP engine layout on the next generation A6. The real question is whether you will miss the 2 extra doors. Other than that, the A5 definitely drives better than the current A6. I need 4 doors for my current situation in life and am waiting either for the next generation A8 or the A7.

If the monthly payments will be about the same, go for it. If not, 13 months isn't a very long time. It's not as if your car's a beater on it's last leg.
