These Are The Cars You'd Lease But Never Buy - Jalopnik

Jalopnik asked readers which cars they’d happily lease for 2–3 years but would never buy—keeping time limited to 36-month turn-in while repair and depreciation costs remain with the automaker. The responses range from broad skepticism to specific brand examples. Several commenters pointed to German brands, citing out-of-warranty maintenance risks and reliability fears. One writer said a Land Rover Defender would be leased, not owned long-term, due to “electrical gremlins” and high upkeep, even while enjoying the driving experience. Others mentioned uncertainty about Lucid’s future solvency, worries about owning the upcoming Scout Terra given Scout’s Volkswagen ownership, and concerns about an Ineos Grenadier combining a BMW engine with British-built quality.
