With leasing,you can afford pretty much any car you like(unless you start talking about ferraris of Bentleys) if you make an ok salary[1]. My only experience is in the UK,but I am certain that if you made $40-50k a year you could easily find a leasing plan that would let you afford the monthly payment on a Porsche - even better if you pick one that's a few years old, then it's really easy. You couldn't buy it outright, you probably wouldn't want to pay off the rest of the car at the end of the lease,but yeah, you could absolutely do it.

[1]and don't have kids/mortgage to pay off.
