2)I for the most part agree... except in instances where the car devalues an extreme amount and the current lease deals are good. It will either be a wash or you will covering a large depreciation risk. Current 3 series is a perfect example...
I suppose I could have just read your post, as you nailed it. Three years ago sedans had awesome residuals. Now they've all fixed the glitch.

We leased a Q5 which had nearly 10% better residuals than an S3 or S4.
