Macan is based on second gen Audi Q5. Tiguan is based on first gen Audi Q5.

Oops, Tiguan. It's difficult to keep those insignificant models straight.

Come on over.

I've been to Switzerland a dozen times when I worked for Novartis and it's a gorgeous country. I almost took a 2 year assignment there as well. Wish I wouldn't have passed it up.

we just live here for a year now and to be honest... Never want to leave anymore. I was born in Holland, lived in Belgium but I fell in love with Switzerland when I was a kid. We went on vacation in Switzerland every year. Now we have our own business here and everything is going very well. Wouldn't leave my business behind... It's part of my life here.
I also have family in Ventura, California and Iike it very much over there, but Switzerland is where I really feel at home

Just wish we had those US car prices here... Makes me jealous everytime I see them! LOL

BTW, one of Novartis's competitors (Johnson & Johnson) is a customer of our company

If they do bring the Diesel it looks like the pricing will be steep, given what was announced for the 2014 Q5 TDI pricing. They can demand a premium on the entry level Porsche. Likely be that the Cayenne diesel will be at a more compelling price point.

I really hope they don't make the bottom half of the door black like in the pic above. Outside of that, I'm digging it.

Here in Europe prices are estimated at about 5% above equally motorized Q5. That means prices will start at about 40000 euro incl. VAT (in Germany). My guessing is that it will be a couple of 1000 euro more expensive, but we'll see.

That's what most German car magazines say. But as I said, I personally think it will be a little bit more expensive. Q5 starts in Germany at 36000 euro or so, my guessing is that the Macan with the same 2.0 Turbo engine will cost around 43000-45000 euro in Germany.
