Porsche Baby SUV based on Q5 to be called Macan!

Anyone read the latest Automobile issue? Although they are still referring to the new small Porsche suv as the Cajun, they are saying that it will be available only as a coupe for the first two years with a base price of $45k. If so, that's just classic Porsche marketing. Introduce a smaller Cayenne, take away two doors and price it the same as a base Cayenne. Wait two years and bump up the price on both, than introduce a four door Macan well above the price of a Q5 and still below the new higher base Cayenne price.

Pure speculation on the part of Automobile. Due to print mags' lead time, we know more now; the actual name, and the sketch released by Porsche is clearly a 4-door Q5-based vehicle.
I am hoping for a 2-door, but in reality I don't see it happening until the next platform change - adapting a new body style this far into a platform's production run is unusual - especially for a relatively low-volume variant.
