Default Mercedes to offer subscription-based car service

From $1,100 to about $3k/month. It's very interesting to see auto manufacturers make major adjustments like this.

agreed, a very unique approach. sounds like they'll be able to switch up when they need, but sounds like the cars might get pretty beat up and abused

I like this approach... If I understand correctly, pricing will vary depending on frequency you change vehicles and not so much the type of vehicle?

I would like to change mine every 2-3 months and if that gets me down to $1095/month (with insurance?), sign me up!

Tiers are based on cars, and then you can upgrade temporarily for extra free.

The most affordable tier will be Mercedes-Benz Collection Signature. That’s priced at $1,095 per month. Drivers will be able to choose between the C300 Sedan, the AMG CLA 45 Sedan, the C300 Coupe, the GLC 300 SUV, and the GLC 300 Coupe, along with the C300 Cabriolet and the SLC 300 Roadster.

For those wanting a more upscale selection, there’s Mercedes-Benz Collection Reserve. Priced at $1,595, it includes the E300 Sedan and E300 Wagon, along with the AMG C43 Sedan. It also includes the larger GLE350 SUV and the AMG GLC 43 SUV, plus the E400 Coupe, AMG SLC 43 Roadster, and AMG C43 Coupe.

Finally, there’ll be Mercedes-Benz Collection Premier, priced at $2,995 per month. It’ll include sedans like the AMG E63 S, AMG C63 S, and the S560, along with the SL550 Roadster and the AMG C63 S Coupe. It also has the largest choice of SUVs: the AMG GLE S Couple, the GLS 550, the AMG GLE 63 S, and the iconic G550.
