Vehicle/Dealership Recommendations?

Looking for vehicle recommendations or dealerships. My lease on my 2022 VW SEL R Line is up this month. I went to the dealership near me to get the 2025 model of my car and I'm told it's super rare and NO ONE has them. If they do, they refuse to lease because they want to mark them up and sell them outright due to tariffs. They basically offered me a downgrade for $200 a month more (on a lease) than buying my "super rare" car out now would cost.

I am not a huge car person, but ive had VWs for the last 6 years. I like the bells and whistles with the sporty look that doesnt scream "mom car". I haven't done much research on other makes because I figured I'd be stuck in this vicious lease cycle with VW forever, as they make it too enticing price wise to switch once you start. Apparently that's not the case. so while I devour the internet, I thought id ask the powers that be of Reddit.

That being said, anyone know of a similar SUV to look at or a dealership that won't pressure me into something I don't want at a price that doesnt make sense?

If it helps: The VW Taos is too small for my needs and the VW Atlas is bigger than needed (and honestly don't think it'll fit in my garage).
