I couldn't do it. Give me the option of three cars from one manufacturer for the rest of my life and I'll choose freedom and variety instead.

Predicatable really, as a Porsche afficionado, it has to be Porsche!

As I've just been to the local dealer with my Porsche mad 4 year old (good lad!), I'll plump for a 991 Turbo S daily for me, a Macan Turbo family wagon (much prefer the looks to the Cayenne) for the wife and a Boxster Spyder or (stretching it a little, in theory possible)- a 991R for some additional fun.

Otherwise, I guess Audi (R8 V10 plus), RS6 and S1 would work; or Mercedes AMG GT, GLE and CLS

I'm not sure on the exact models but I'd certainly make my way down to a Merc dealership and go from there.

AMG GT for sure

Then I'd probably pick something AMG powered for 'fun' day to day use and then probably a top end E Class wagon for family duties.

hmmm,

BMW

M3
640d Gran Coupe
X5 xDrive 40d

or

Audi

S4
Q5S
R8 Spyder

or

Jaguar

F-Pace
F-Type Coupe R
XJ

I'll stop there, truth is most of the big manufacturers have a line up that will cover most bases even Maserati.

I think I'd be a bit bored sticking to one manufacturer, but if I absolutely had to, I think I'd end up going the Audi route (against my usual choices!).

S1
RS6 Avant
R8 V10

Porsche would be a lost second, but I don't like SUVs and I'm not a fan of the Panamera!

It's amazing how many people don't read the OP, you'd think that was an important part of formulating a reply to a thread!

Also, why three? I imagine one is for your wife to drive, or else two would do fine.

For me it would have to be Mercedes, but that's just because I'm not a fan of the look of the latest R8 and BMW's top of the line car, the i8, doesn't really do it for me. It could be Jag though with an XJ, F-Type and F-pace combo.

Car for the other half: C43 AMG Estate

Car for my daily: E63 AMG Estate

Weekend car: AMG GT-S (upgrade that to the GT-R when it's available)

Haven't thought as far as engine sizes and trims but probably go with BMW due to the sheer range really.

I would have:

-Z4 for the wife and and go on road trips with.

-M4 Coupe for myself, think the M6 is just a little on the long size - would be good fun just to go on drives with.

-X5 M - not really sure, for daily commute and stuff...

OR not sure if this counts as it is technically BMW but instead of the X5 get a Mini Cooper S because why not.

That's not easy.. Really, no car company makes 3 interesting cars.

Ford Focus RS, Ford Mustang convertible and new GT when it comes out.. Hard to beat that, but kind of joy-less.. And a bit rubbish actually. Rubbish because you just know the replacements for all 3 will be better in every way.

My choice would be Fiat Panda 4x4 twin air, Abarth 500 and an Abarth 124 spider. Great little collection of fun cars.. Italian, cheap, great fun.

Probably that. Assuming the criteria is a UK dealer.

The Jag/LR suggestions have been on the money for me, I too would be quite happy with XJR/F-Pace/F-type. Going slightly left-field, and still covering performance/waft/practical:

Lexus RC F
Lexus LS 600h L
Lexus RX 450h
