We're not the target market.

I've always failed to see why guys want to put lowering springs into an suv. Kind of defeats the purpose of the car. I would agree that the car in OP's pic has what appears to be an unusually large gap between the wheel and the body. It even looks as if the wheels could be too small for the car.... not a great look really. I think this is where the air may help out without permanently altering the ride height for the occasion when you may want/need it.

Morning lighting, side skirts, gloss black window trim, spyders. I can never capture how good this color looks live on camera. I have to say it's more elegant than sporty though, changes the look. Also I have to say it's very humbling to read back over previous postings, how wildly ones views evolve.

Buckfever, is that with the air suspension or not? In that color, the wheel gap looks acceptable to me - although in other colors it's not.

That was steel. The 20's really help.

Still struggling with the exterior color. I like plain black the best but the amount of orange peel is off putting to me and I've seen quite a few and so far it's been consistent. Whereas the metallic offerings look flawless.

Wish I could help. My opinion is worthless. That said, I like the Agate interior and exterior but not together...too much Agate!

I favor silver, and the navy blue exterior colors. Along with white and black...timeless exterior colors.

I'm going the opposite direction, I ordered Sapphire Blue w/ Agate leather interior. Saw the darker blue at the dealer (and one in the wild) but thought it was just too dark. I would really like something in between, Ford has a very nice medium blue, IMHO.

This color (Blue Flame):

I think that's going to be popular. Which wheels you going to go with? What about the side blades and rear fashia?

Macan Turbo wheels (19")
Side Blades in Gloss Black (I wanted something to break up the blue a little).

Buckfever - you wouldn't believe the number of compliments we get on our Agate/Agate macan S...and 4 times we have been at our dealer for various reasons and customers have asked sales people to approach us to see if we would be willing to sell. This color combination is understated and elegant if that's what you like.
