3. Somehing fun, but reliable and civilized enough that my wife would tolerate weekend runs to the coast. Doesn’t need to be a hardcore twisty car. A 911 (my 89 Carrera would be fine), a well-sorted E-type Jag, a BMW 3.0CS, a BMW i8, something like that.

I guess a Cayenne could cover both 1 and 2, leaving an open slot for a second fun car or (gasp) a super-economical local runabout (BMW i3?).

I’m assuming I can stash a trailer in the side yard, otherwise I’d have to consider a pickup truck.
My '10 Cayenne GTS covers all three actually. But you do need to own petroleum stocks to justify/break-even on the fun part of 3. It is shocking how much gas I burn in this thing.
