First night of the Porsche Macan Launch here in Birmingham Alabama... Reveal night with some interesting lighting and a great southern dinner courtesy of the Renaissance Ross Bridge Resort (highly recommended). Track day tomorrow! Can't wait.

Sweet. How's the car? In par with which other mini SUVs?

Will know more tomorrow when we drive it. I'm guessing it will be the sports car among lux crossovers... All reviews point to it as handling like a 911 or Cayman S.

A majority of reviews say it doesn't handle like a 911 or Cayman, BUT it is the best handling in its class bar none. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here with the 911 bit. Enjoy the ride.

Nice pics. However I'm not sure I'd take a Macan over a Platinum Daytona.

ttomczak · 12 May 2014, 12:52 AM

Wondered how this was over an X5M or the SQ5...

Wesley Crusher · 12 May 2014, 01:09 AM

Cute SUV. I'm sure it will be a big hit with the ladies.

Kingair · 12 May 2014, 01:20 AM

Build on the Audi Q5 chassis if I am correct

Wes might be right . . . something for the Ladies

I guess to small for the US market

Just my .02

Have fun !

sea-dweller · 12 May 2014, 01:25 AM

alexxelor · 12 May 2014, 02:10 AM

locutus49 · 12 May 2014, 02:52 AM

Very nice. Here was me, couple years ago, not wearing my Cartier because I washed the car. Note the sign above my head.
