How about the Kia K5, not luxury but hellafun.
Acura TLX also really awesome.
I think $350 is going to be tough to obtain on anything this month.
How did you come up with a $350 payment? You need to narrow down the list of cars that are within your budget.
Whenever I hear this question, it makes me feel like I’m speaking to a car salesman LoL
Whenever I get that question , I just say cause that’s what I feel like I should pay for this car goddamnit !! 
. Chip/inventory shortage or not !
Kidding aside, do some more reading OP and see what $350 will actually get you in your geographic area in this market.
Don’t want to burst your bubble, but you’re most likely looking at an Accord/Camry with 0 DAS.

Basically none of those are happening for $350 or less, with $0 DAS. You’re shooting far too high.

Forget Audi, BMW, Genesis and Tesla. They are not in your price range.
The Camry is not a luxury sedan, but it should be within your budget. As for the Hyundai, not sure why it is even on your list of sporty sedans.
That is including a stack of incentives, some of the which the OP is likely not qualified to receive; that doesn’t fit the stipulation of being <$350/mo. I love when people throw “well, look at this deal”, and its not relevant for the average person lol. Infinitis do typically lease out well, though.
I think you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by, say, an Accord Sport 2.0t. I had a 2018 and it was delightfully peppy (5.4s 0-60) and reasonably luxurious (heated seats, sunroof, smart key with walk-away lock, full suite of safety tech, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging, remote start, etc). It may be more in the $400-450 range in the current market, but in my opinion it’s prob the best-equipped sport/luxury sedan you’ll find around that price range.

“Likely not qualified”
You’re also making assumptions. I’m simply sharing a deal that meets his criteria. Sports sedan for $350 on the nose. Whether or not he qualifies is up to him to research. It also provides a realistic sense of what it take to secure a deal like that. If he doesn’t qualify for those incentives, it’s simply going to be more difficult. Go eat a snickers

“You’re also making assumptions”
You as well, no? 
In this case here, it is safer to assume that OP does not qualify for an Infiniti loyalty incentive. We’re just standing on opposite sides of the fence. Great for thought provoking I suppose, but not so great in the sense of merely glancing at the payments without recognizing what it takes to achieve it.
I will certainly have a snickers, if you’re willing to share!

I mean you are kind of making some pretty heavy assumptions off of OPs post. He doesn’t state anywhere in his post that someone in his household has an infiniti lease or not. He doesn’t stateif he would qualify for supplier, penfed, for anything really(incentives for other manufacturers). Rather than saying you wouldn’t qualify how about pointing him to the edmunds site so op can conduct their proper research.
@egothrasher let me give you this one tip. Ignore everyone on this forum that says it’s not a good time to buy. Yeah the market is weird right now, supply constraints have made it harder to find the ideal deal but what i’ve learned from this site is if you do your homework and invest some time in finding a car you will score a deal. It takes having an open mind especially with the make and model. Ever since i’ve started using this site people have complained that unicorn deals no longer exist (that’s all bull). There are a lot of smart people on here but also a lot of pessimists and cynics (i guess that’s a symptom of being smart) and know it all’s. Take their advice and knowledge on how to score a deal but do your best to ignore their negativity. To summarize if you do your homework, keep an opened mind, expand your market horizons (you can lease out of state), stay positive, keep asking for help, and get rid of your fear of rejection you will get rewarded.

I was saying that sharing a previous deal that includes >>> $8,700 <<< partly of contingent incentives gives someone, who is looking for guidance, little assistance. Your post is quite beneficial for this thread, however.

Thank you all for the replies thus far.
I should clarify, I have no objections or problems paying several grand upfront. It just seems the general consensus is that it’s better if you don’t. Because if something were to happen to the car, you aren’t getting that money back. Most of the car’s I’ve looked at are wanting 3-5k deposit.
I have looked into Infiniti, was interested in the Q50 models.
Can you clarify? Are you planning to special order a car or are you referring to the amount due at lease signing?
The bigger issue with big money up front is it misleads about the actual cost, leading people to take worse deals generally.
Maybe I’m reading things incorrectly, but I’m just talking about when it says due at signing.
Like for example, Lexus is advertising the IS 350 at $369, $3999 due at signing.
Now, I would assume there would be some wiggle room and or negotiating possible. Maybe I’m mistaken and that’s a decent deal already, I don’t know.
Yessirrrr. The beauty of this site is that it educates you and gives you the tools to create your own deal. It’s not here to spoon feed you unicorn deals. Once I realized that, I ascended to Super Saiyan leasehackr.
This site can definitely be intimidating. There are some unnecessarily abrasive people. However, a majority of the community is incredibly helpful. If you want something easier without the work (which is totally fine, we all have shit going on) just look at the hundreds of broker listings.

You are looking at this all wrong. You can structure a deal with $0 Due At Signing (DAS), by rolling all fees into the monthly payment.
What they said.
I do not want to sound rude, but you have a lot to learn about leasing. Some of us have provided you with links to useful information on this forum.
You need to take a step back and read up on leasing 101. If that’s too much, hire a broker from the “Marketplace” and get a car that is within your budget.
