So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

Oh here, let me go find that very available data with a 2.5 second Google search since you don't understand the car market, have probably never in your life purchased a new vehicle, and just want to argue.

No why would I need to buy a new car when my current one is fine

Then as stated, you are not the fucking customer here. Not sure why that's so hard to accept.

Clearly. My og comment.

A fifth of users in the US rent the car itself via lease mechanisms. You aren't the target. Assuming there are discounts the folks leasing will use these options.

This is trash I have to register and by the looks of it pay just to view the "statistics".

You think they are lying? Jesus dude look on any dealership website and count the number of 3 year old cpo's. This isn't some exotic loan. It's extremely common and you can find lease offers at literally every brand and dealership.
