Volvo is trying this! They call it a car subscription. Doesn't seem like it has had a huge impact, though: https://www.volvocars.com/us/care-by-volvo/

Looks exactly like a lease except they cover a few more things like tires? And even then, it says they cover cases of "excessive wear" which implies something wrong with the vehicle which the warranty should cover in either case.

Is there any real difference besides the fact that you can order it online and that it appears much more expensive?

To answer my own question, looks like they include the insurance and they do pay to replace the tires if needed and you can cancel after 5 months, I guess.

I thought it also includes insurance, and you could also swap cars at any point? So pretty similar but a little more than a lease.
