We all thought the Porsche Cajun would keep its name. Apparently not. Macan is the final production name. The baby SUV, which falls below and will be cheaper than the Cayenne,
is to begin production at the company’s Leipzig
factory in Germany. European dealerships
are expecting to receive their first consignments of the Macan in 2013. South Africa is in the same boat.
Based on the same platform architecture as the Audi Q5,
the Porsche Macan is said to be a sports car that has SUV capabilities, according
to its future maker. They also say it’s a real Porsche. By that we assume they
mean it will drive like a 911 on
platforms, with engines like the 3.0-litre
TDI (over 550Nm) and a turbo petrol setting it alight. Of course
its primary targets are customers
who are currently buying or looking to buy cars like the BMW X3 / X4, Volvo XC60 and homeboy Audi Q5 itself.

I hope their board is made up mostly of women and that they change their minds once again. This name is just not on.
