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.

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>
