Tail lights are an improvement over the Hyundai tail lights on the Cayenne.

I really like the whole package.

In a few years the plan is to pick up a previously enjoyed model with low kms, I'll never be one to buy a car new.

I like it, but at the end of the day, it's still an SUV. I like my 911 as a DD

funny, i was going to say its a great looking car except for the taillights, i think the current gen. cayenne is the sexiest suv on the market.

Unless you have a big family (and even then, there are cars they can fit in) I don't get the whole SUV thing. It's everything bad about a car and everything bad about a pick-up truck put into one, without the abilities of a pick-up truck or the handling of a car. I love cars and I love a good pick-up truck but I can't see ever wanting/needing an SUV.

A little pricey, rather do an M Class.

+1, or other mid sized suvs in that market segment.

personally i wouldnt get a compact sized suv (kind of defeats suv purpose imo) but there is definitely no shortage of land rover evoques/q5s/glks on the road.

i expect a mini panamera to come out next.

Just got back from the auto show and got Stewart from Phaff spent about an hour with my wife and I showing is the Macan. We got to sit in it and check out the cargo area etc. I am definitely getting one and Stewart was a very nice fellow. He will be back at the show on Wed and would be happy to show the Macan to any Rennlisters that are interested.
