Non Ghetto Loaner Cars

Non Ghetto Loaner Cars
I've been taking my Porsche in for service.. Well, a lot.
Does anyone know of any Porsche dealers in LA (there's about 15 or so) that CURRENTLY carry 718 or 911 loaner cars? I heard that this was more common back in the day..
It is my opinion that the 261 hp VW 4 cylinder Macan engine is Ghetto – it is "makeshift, shoddy." It's an absolute privilege to have a loaner car, but the 4 cylinder isn't the right application for this kind of an enthusiast SUV. It's not a burden at all, yes the Macans are BEAUTIFUL cars (I own a Macan Turbo that I adore) but I am in the market for an additional vehicle – hence why I am asking this question.

Perhaps the reason they are using the 4-cylinder cars is they may be more dependable?

My apologies for tickling anyone's feathers. My title was poorly written.
I should clarify – I am referring to the base/4 cylinder Macan ENGINE. Ghetto has multiple meanings. The 4 cylinder engine is "makeshift," "shoddy," its the incorrect work horse for a car that can MSRP at $70k plus.
The new Macans are beautiful, but a well optioned Macan should not have a 261 HP VW engine.
I understand that the days of naturally aspirated V10's, Twin Turbo V8's and V6's are becoming few and far in between.
I am in the market for a coupe hence why I asked the question.
To have a loaner car is a privilege but for a brand such as Porsche - if a better option exists (and if 911/718 loaners are available just as they were pre covid), I'd like to know.
My SA understands that I like driving, hence why he is investigating. CPO coverage allots for a Porsche rental car through Enterprise.
It sounds like there are often 718s and 911s at the Enterprise Exotics 0.4 miles from my local dealer.

Makes sense. In case you're interested – there's a VW 4 cylinder engine forum that may interest you:
