 I'd go for a Cayman.

Better hurry, as the last I'd heard the ICE is going to be retired and replaced with a BEV and the remaining allotments are going pretty fast.
They might extend sales to North America like they've apparently decided for the ICE Macan, but EU laws on something-or-other will EOL it there.

The base flat four is around $75k. I came close to a
Porsche once....

A friend is looking to add a GT4 to his Boxster S and BMW 240i; think this is his latest build code .. he's shopping for an allotment:

Back to DFS, much depends on individual preferences/priorities/needs. For example, I don't need a 3-row SUV like the QX80, so I'd be looking at a size class down ... in PCar land that would be a Macan instead of a Cayenne...current Macan S has the prior GTS motor, so that's sweet spot in that lineup and for those who care, its around 1-1.5 seconds faster than the QX80.
For sedans, I've had Panamera loaners .. really nice (but big) cruiser. I'd probably take the advice I've heard to cross-shop it w/Audi's A7, but if a Panamera Sport Turismo was laying around, well, I'm a sucker for a shooting brake.
For Pickups, the answer there is "just pay the $50 for delivery" <g>
