Default Pictures from Detroit

Rhodium silver on black looks good.

Edit: Word on the street is that these photos were run through some sort of filter and may not accurately represent this color. That's too bad. I'm curious if GT Silver Metallic would look closer to what is shown here.

That's stunning in that combo!

Gives me second thoughts about my choice of colour for sure

too much photoshop in these photos, if you see video - there is nothing special aboutthis colour - it looks very ordinary

I was at the PCA breakfast at the Porsche Display in Detroit yesterday and got a thorough look at the new Macan. It looks great, the silver is lovely and works well with the black or Espresso interior. I was really impressed with the Macan, it is much more than a rebodied Q5. It is longer and wider than the Q5 while weighing 400 pounds less. It is quite a sporting car with the PDK and much more aggressive suspension and chassis management. I think the Macan S is all I would need, and optioned generously, I can get one for the price of my current winter car, an Audi A6. My only reservation is the “side blade” along the lower aspect of the car, they were carbon fiber on the show cars, although it looked like faux carbon fiber to me. Don’t think the blades are nice, would want mine painted to match the rest of the body.

I was there too. Agree that the car looks quite nice except for the horizontal blade. Interior is very nice. The Turbo engine cutaway was cool. The Macan Turbo was about $75K.... PLUS $25K in options!!

Looks nice- anxious to see it in the flesh. Just got a S-line+ Q5 TDI this last fall as I couldn't wait until the Macan for my next DD, plus the nearest Porsche dealer (when I'm in Iowa) is 2 1/2 hours away... very happy with the Q5 as I've been an Audi driver almost as long as a Porsche driver ( 1971 vs 1980), but in a couple years it may be tempting.
