Default Better to lease a new 2014 or new 2013?

I had been waiting for the 2014 Audi Order Guides to be released before deciding about leasing an S5 Cab. Now that the guides are out, and there are basically no changes between the 2013 and 2014 models, I'm wondering if it makes more sense financially to lease a new 2014 S5 Cab or a new 2013 S5 Cab that hasn't sold yet. I suspect the residual value will be higher on the 2014, but the transaction price of the 2013 will be lower. Any thoughts?

You could almost always expect to get a better deal on a car late in the model year. However, the nice thing about a lease is that it's easy to compare the deals based on the monthly cost of the leases.

The question is, how much will a 2013 be worth, the minute 2014's roll out in August?

I suppose if you got a good enough discount, it may be a wash.

I know on RS5's the residual new was 54 or 56% and they are now at 49%.
