The problem is that you will never actually 'own' the vehicle if you do this, and at the end of the 'subscription' term you basically have to let it go.
In a way it's taking the novated lease idea and spinning it into another approach on the 'everything as a service' concept.
The idea of 'ownership' where you buy and pay for it now you fully own it and can do what you like with it is being pushed to the side and people will be enticed/encouraged to 'buy' a vehicle as a 'service' rather than something that you actually own.
