Nice little SUV...Not happy with the price, but not all together surprised at the amount of add ons. LOL
Thanks for posting. :-)

Thought this was gonna be Porsche's cheapest car, I like the look of it. They normally release the S version first. And the S is cheaper than the Boxster S. But their website now has the non-S for £40k(237bhp) and S for £43k. (340bhp). Surprised by the bhp difference and prices.

Always loved Porsche's and hope to have a 911 in the next few years. Bought my wife a 2011 X3 this past December and depending on the reviews, in 3-4 years a nice CPO Macan is a likely replacement.

This gives people not familiar with Porsches an idea of how much options cost. You can double the price of a plain jane 911 with enough options.

I'd like to see a Macan in person. I'm more of a 911 guy myself, but for someone with kids, it could be the ticket.

Nice & sporty Q5.

I dunno, for Porsche, I would want a 911/Cayman/Boxster, but, to each their own.

I haven't driven one yet but I guess it is a 'small' Porsche

The new Cayenne isn't that big either . . .

Used to driving a Range Rover

I know . . . English rubbish

But until today not one problem

Just my .02

I think it's kinda small. We have 2 kids so it won't work. I am thinking more the new Range Rover sport.

2 kids, no problem. Cayenne Turbo S will feel like a joyride.

I was at the launch party held by my dealer. It's a cool car but I thought I would like it better. The back end is a bit disappointed aesthetically to my eye.

Either way there is no disputing the turbo is a rocket.

Seen them here; look almost identical to an Audi Q5, save some massaged body lines.
