How many Cayenne guys are going to switch to Macan?

I just couldn't resist. But honestly I like the looks of the 955/957 cayennes a fair deal better.. So I'm hoping the macan will be less Korean looking in the rear than the 958. I'm sure the macan will be a sporty little thing. Still the 958 is a brilliant car so don't fret!

ive seen the engine specs and prices for the macan, and doesn't make much sense to me..
base macan is like 7-8k less than base cayenne.. i'm sorry but i'd rather have the larger cayenne for that small of a difference... also the base macan engine is a 4cyl...
4cyl small SUV or add 10% and get a 6cyl average size sUV.
the cayenne update comes out same time as macan release... so will be interesting, i'm doing cayenne for sure.. thought about macan but it would need to start 35k to make any sense to me.. not above 40...
may 2014 for macan
june 2014 for cayenne (smart)
the cayenne S drops v8 for TT 90* version of the v6
the macan is 4cyl turbo, 6cyl and 6cyl turbo.
could make more sense to those who option cayenne's heavily, then again wouldn't those same people option their macan heavily.. which would make less sense on a cheaper vehicle.

Agree someone needs to be speared for signing off on the Korean tail lights. It makes you wonder what they were thinking. But i do think the rear of 958, as ordinary as it is, is an improvement over 955. Maybe they should poach some of Kia's design team and shake it up a bit. At least that way if the next one looks Korean there will be a logical excuse.

Any info on the towing capacity of the proposed TT V6 in the Cayenne S?

The Cayenne has been a good size for us. That being said, my kids are grown and my youngest will be off to college this fall. A smaller vehicle might be just right for us. We still need to occasionally haul dogs and haul ski gear, but we won't use the back seats very much. If it has enough space, one of the things that might prevent us from buying a Macan is the seating position. My wife likes the higher seating position of the Cayenne compared to a regular car. If the Macan is too low, we will go with another Cayenne.

Isn't the Macan's true base platform the VW Golf, which was given crossover sheetmetal to become the Tiguan, which was gussied up with leather, wheels and insulation to become the Q5?

So fortunately it isn't super low rent.

I stand corrected! I still wouldn't be interested but it wouldn't surprise me to see more Macans sold than Q5s.

Looking forward to the Macan.
Not replacing our Cayenne, but replacing the Lexus RX.
Want something a bit smaller than the Cayenne, but want the Porsche experience.

I test drove the new S4 Audi that has basically the same supercharged motor that the SQ5 will have. It's a powerful, lightweight motor that would be great in the Macan. Gobs of power at any RPM level.
I won't sell our Cayenne S, as my wife likes it's size and the higher-up driving position. But I will also get a Macan if it has a decent motor. In fact, I already have the license plate "Macan S" on my Mini Cooper in anticipation of the new car.
