I like it. Rear will be more dynamic... It'll be a great everyday driver. I have a deposit down, but it was interesting that my OPC here in the UK sent me 'early pictures' today - and they were these Teamspeed ones! Respect to Teamspeed, as usual.
We all spout about Porsche doing the cars we 'like' but the reality is that the Cayenne is better than the BMW X5/X6, Range Rover Sport, Audi Q7 and VW Tourag. The Macan will be the same. Best in its segment. I have a 40 year old 911, a 2011 Cayenne and about to pick up a 997.1 GT3 RS - each model on my drive has its place depending on the journey and the conditions. Not many manufacturers can offer that diversity with such expertise.

I think its Porsche knowing exactly WHO they are, WHERE they came from and how to give the client the best vehicles for the money!

agreed, everyone said the same thing when they made the Cayenne. IMO the Cayenne was EXACTLY what Porsche is about.

Not going to lie, I would not have guessed that you guys would have liked this car based on your responses to other controversial models.
But to share my opinion, I like it. As long as it isn't too expensive I think it will sell well. But I also hope it won't be too cheap so it doesn't ruin Porsche's brand image.
