If I don't love the car, I will get something else. If I ended up buying (financing) instead, I would have still paid ~$60-70k after three years, but I would then be faced with having to sell the car (potentially for a loss) or keeping it and continuing to pay.

Plus writing it off on taxes as a business expense. I like to put the difference between the 3 year rent and the MSRP into dividend paying stocks. In 3 years odds are better those do better than the hit you'd take had you paid cash.
