Default Lexus Vehicle Subscription Service

This news quietly came out in March, but I never saw it here on CL. I was reading up on the UX, and it will be the first Lexus model available through a new Vehicle Subscription Service (VSS)

When the UX goes on sale in December of 2018, there will be a new option in addition to the usual purchase and lease processes. For the first time in the history of Lexus, the UX will be offered through a subscription service. Details will be announced closer to the UX on-sale date.

Lexus to Launch Vehicle Subscription Service in USA

Subscription services are an emerging alternative to the usual lease-or-buy purchase options. Cadillac, Volvo, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW have all announced subscription services for their vehicles in the USA.

These new services vary in their implementation, but in essence it’s a single monthly charge that takes care of the vehicle costs, insurance, and all maintenance. Vehicles can also be swapped at varying intervals — Volvo Care allows for car changing every 12 to 24 months, while vehicles can be swapped at any time with Book by Cadillac service.

does the subscription price vary by area, age, miles driven, accident history, etc?

lol, why is that exactly? I would suspect most of these will be for 40k vehicles, not $3k/month that they are trying to push.
