Default How many macan owners (car and keys in hand) do we have here?

curious because my dealer got our batch of cars in first (6 macan total) but since then i have yet to see any others on the road... or any at the dealer besides the not for sale demo model..

seems as if PCNA "launched" the macan, had a batch done to give every dealer a few vehicles and maybe now catching up on other things or focusing on the new cayenne for a short bit?

do we have a list of sales numbers for each corresponding month since release... i dont mind not seeing any on the road but i find it somewhat surprising how few i see... recently drove to NC from OH and didn't see one.. but had several people stop and ask to look at the vehicle because the dealer mentioned it but didnt have a demo vehicle to see.

Back before PCNA put the link behind a login screen, you could do a search for build sheets by VIN, model code, etc. Last I checked a month or so ago, Porsche had built about 950 Macan Turbos and around 10x that many Macan S's. That's for all markets, not just North America.

I'm sure they're out there, just still a pretty rare car and Porsche has not been a high-volume manufacturer either. PAG plans to build 50,000 of these a year so they'll be common enough pretty soon.

As to your title question: Not me. I don't expect to get mine until the first week of October.

My turbo was delivered the first week of June. Had it ordered since January. It actually arrived a few days earlier than originally scheduled. The build dates were as originally estimated, but the ship it came on left Emden earlier than expected.

There are a few on the streets around Houston as we have 3 dealers and I know each of them has delivered several cars. Other than mine, I have only actually see one other on the streets away from the dealer, but Houston is a big place.

What a great car (trucklet?)

ps. There seems to be much more activity on the other Macan forum

The latest sales figures I have seen are through July at http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...over-2013.html

It includes a table of all the models and for the Macan indicates month/year sales totals of 952/2978. For July the Macan is second only to the Cayenne so already is a top seller for Porsche and availability is still very constrained.

I received my Macan Turbo about the third week of May after putting a deposit down late last year. I have seen a number of them come through my dealer filling pending orders but haven't seen one actually on the road yet. Exclusive for a while but probably not for too many more months.

My Turbo was delivered on 5/24. I just saw a white S on the road last night, but haven't seen another in town as of yet. I'm assuming there are a few roaming around as the only P dealer in town doesn't have any on the lot.

Got ours June 7, one of the first three delivered at our dealer.
40+ on waitlist now.
I agree I don't see many driving around. Give it 6 to 9 months to see more.

My dealer is a Premier dealer with great allocations, and will only deliver 30-40 Macans in this calendar year. It's going to be a while until you really see them around all that much. I've only seen one other Macan on the road in the Denver metro area so far, but I don't run around the whole area much.

Other than the launch/test cars at the local Porsche dealer, I've seen 2 on the road here in the Portland area so far.

I have had my Turbo for about a month. Love it, and they finally fixed the alarm issue.

I not sure what they did, but my alarm does not go off randomly anymore. I will check and let everyone know.
