Car manufacturers offer subscriptions
Industries that are not initially associated with subscription business models are also developing in the direction of subscription.
More and more car manufacturers are experimenting with monthly fixed contributions for their models. With the Porsche USA Passport program, customers can drive a different Porsche model every day for as little as $2,000 per month – the Cayenne on Mondays and the 911 Cabriolet at the weekend.
