Maria Sharapova is pretty tall, she'd be 2m tall in those heels. The Macan isn't very big either, where I live (close to the Atlantic Highway in Norway) they do a lot of photos for publicity material, there was a couple of Macans being photographed a few weeks back, it looks significantly smaller in the bare metal than the Audi Q5.

I like this shade of blue! Very Attractive and the color works for the Macan. I just watch the video of how the designers came about to planning and fashioning the structure and form of the car. It's quite interesting from the inspiration of the one piece hood, the side blades inspired by the 918 spyder the wide rear arches and the rear lights. Quite interesting!!!

My build $80k for Turbo and $67k for S with equal equipment. Hmm I was hoping for a little more of a price gap or a lower Turbo price. My M3 was $73k msrp and I don't think I want to pay any more than that on a car but also $67k for an S seems silly. I wonder how different they are in terms of speed and driving dynamics.
EDIT: Blah I forgot the roof and some other tiny things for options. I think I'm going to be priced out of the Macan. I'm just not seeing the value. Nearly $16,800 in options for the S, and I was being conservative barely even making it equal to my M3 (except air susp). Maybe I'll wait a year or two for a used one and let depreciation do its work. Right now the SQ5 is looking pretty decent at $20k less than Macan S.

Will probably wait to test drive both models before placing an order. Will shoot for the Turbo though. |

My S came out to like 72 and my turbo was 85. Overall a bit on the pricier side but there will be nothing like this at that price point. The cayenne is leagues above ANY other SUV in both driving experience and quality and based on size and weight I'm assuming this will be an even better car to drive than the cayenne. I am hoping they will have a 420-430 hp Macan GTS that weighs under 4000 lbs. That would be something.

Just talked to my dealer and the earliest US production is March!
So expect late April to May deliveries. They are getting two Macan S allocations and one Turbo for March production. |

Talked it over with the missus and the Turbo is very likely out for us but we might go for the S as a replacement for my E90 M.
My main reason for wanting the Macan is because I ski and mountain bike regularly which is so much easier with an SUV than a car. I love my M3 but it has limited the activities that I want to do here in the NW, particularly in winter. So now the Macan is the only CUV remotely as performance worthy as the M3 but if I don't want to pay for a Turbo, will the 3.0TT be enough for me? That's probably a question that can't be answered short of reviews and test drives, but who else is in this situation? What do you think? |

Of course if you're looking for nicer features and some of the comfort options the Macan has, then the X1M will be far behind. |
