The lease rates on the new M4 suck. So forget that.

My first thought is that if the wife wants a 911, then get the 911.

Otherwise, these are my second thoughts:

1.) M4C - Alpine/Frozen White Metallic (approx. MSRP: $82,000)

Nice

2.) M8C - MBB/Alpine (approx MSRP: $135,500)

Big, fat, loud, heavy, stupid expensive, ridiculous depreciation.

3.) M3C - Portimao Blue (approx. MSRP: $80,000)

Nice. Better family choice than the M4.

4.) Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid - (approx. MSRP: $106,500 -- not including $6,712 tax credit)

Ugh. SUV.

5.) Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid - (approx. MSRP: $130,000 -- not including $6,712 tax credit)

I had a Panamera ICE. Great car. Insane depreciation.

6.) Porsche 911 [exact model unsure] - (approx. MSRP: $140,000 - $185,000)

Porsche 911. There is no substitute. I've had four of them, but not going back. Just getting too expensive, losing the charm. More capable but with less character.

7.) Porsche 911 GT3 - (approx. MSRP $186K)

The techs at the dealership told me that it's unbearable on the street.

Given the diversity of car ownership on these forums, I'm not limited to those named above but I would like to stay in cars made in Deutschland.

RS7 ?

Just get 991 S and call it a day.

Hard to argue with that.
