I hope this works out, I do think that model can have a real foothold among the more traditional vehicle acquisition models.
It would be a strong option to the sales process now, ability to be streamlined, automated as much as possible, advantages to inventory management and OEM production. As a consumer, I'd love to be able to drive several types of vehicles. I wonder what the sales penetration is currently for the dealers doing this?

They'll also be up against a few other concepts, such as Maven's car sharing platform:
