I'm confident the Macan will be a sweet ride. If they were bringing a diesel version stateside I might have held off on my TDI even. But here's the rub. While I know prices are not official, I guarantee it will cost a significant premium over a comparable Q5. That's just how Porsche rolls. Obviously whether it is worth that premium is entirely subjective. But to be honest, in this class, I'm not looking for gilded-age luxury or sports car reflexes. I'm looking for the sweet spot of comfort, practicality, fun-to-drive, and value. Once you start pushing much past $50k you start to leave that sweet spot, at least imho, and I'm guessing the fast Macans will live well north of $60k.

In these pictures Q5 has 18 "wheels, and according to data Macan will be sold with 20" and 21" wheels

Porsche has never presented the first model S or Turbo and afterwards base model
