I always find it odd people ask stuff like this on a Lexus forum, when there are no Toyota motor corp products listed. It's fine, just seems odd.

I looked at the Infinity Q60 and a Mercedes AMG coupe, ended up with Lexus RC.Lots of people here would have made a differenc choice.
Could imagine looking at Acura or Infinity Crossover for wifey in a few more years, but she leans towars Toy/Lex.
I'm not aware of any products made by any of those companies that I personally would consider for myself or my family. Not saying they are bad or anything, just not my/our thing for a variety of reasons.

I'd choose:

Acura.......RLX
Audi...A6 or A8.
BMW...5-or 7-series sedan with the softest-riding tires.
Cadillac...no current models. I'd chose a CPO, well-cared-for DTS.
Genesis...G80, G90
Infiniti.....Q70L
Jaguar....XJ
Land Rover.....none
Lincoln...MKZ, Continental
Mercedes....S550 sedan
Tesla....none

If the world would have only those builders left. I would probably buy a torch and wield myself a bicycle. I would very probably renounce on cars.

Especially with no budget restrictions, this is going to vary wildly based on individual wants, needs, driving style and priorities. But I'll play:

Acura - 2010-2013 MDX Advance
Audi - e-tron
BMW - E36 M3 Lightweight
Cadillac CTS-V
Genesis G90
Infiniti Q60
Jaguar F-Type
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Lincoln Nautilus
Mercedes AMG GLE 63 S
Tesla Model S

Audi - S5 Sportback
BMW - M550i
Cadillac - Newish CTS-V
Genesis - G80
Infiniti - Q50 Red Sport 400
Jaguar - XF (R if they still make that)
Land Rover - Range Rover Sport
Lincoln - Aviator PHEV
Mercedes - AMG GT63 4-door
Tesla - Model S
