Porsche is
launching the Macan (spied here) soon, probably
at the end of the year. The Macan – previously known as Cajun - is a smaller
SUV to the Cayenne, and it’s based on the AudiQ5 which is of similar size. But the Porsche Macan, as expected, will be sportier and offer one or two different
engines to the Q5. So optimistic is its maker about the car
that they have upped their total production
forecast for 2013, from 30 000 to
75 000.
This figure is totally realistic by the way. Consider that
the Cayenne is currently Porsche’s
biggest selling model, outstripping
the fabled 911 by 3 to 1. With the
world kind of downsizing from big to
small, it makes sense that people who cannot afford a Cayenne but want to be seen driving a Porsche, will
seriously look at the Macan,
especially if it’s priced in the
same range as the Q5 and BMW X3.

What a terrible name!
I would probably buy this over the boring Q5. At the right price of course.
