The inline 4 cylinder Porsche is back!
What is old is new again! Porsche just announced that the inline 4 cylinder Macan will make it to the US for 2017. With the new 4 cylinder Boxster and Cayman it certainly looking like 1992 again!

I like the tail 3/4 view...the newish beemers use the horizontal tail lights to make them look lower.
front looks like it has a lot of air inlet space...I wonder if they are dumping it out the front of the wheel wells

I thought I read in Excellence that they were not going with the VW engine and developed their own. I don't know why though...seems like the VW unit is a pretty good mill.

And having owned 3 of them in Audis I can tell you it is a great engine.
A plus to the Macan IMHO.
