Those SUVs make Porsche buckets of money.
Not to say their sportscars aren't super profitable also, but the SUVs have a lot more competition.
Can't you get a lot more for your money with a BMW, MB, or Audi? I was under the impression that MBs were becoming much better to drive but maybe that is only the case for AMGs.
EDIT: Old review, but this is the kind of vibe I recall: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...mparison-test/ |
The Macan is expensive for what it is —no getting around this.
But it is significantly different from the Q5 that I like it. The PDK for starters. And the all wheel drive system is also different. I like the flatness of the handling.
I skipped the Macan S as well as the 2018 Macan Turbo — I chose a 2021 because it sat better in the depreciation curve, but not too old a car.
It’s really fun. When you go in with low expectations, it’s quite pleasant as a vehicle to be honest. It also makes my 2018s feel quite old.
Put together a new config for the GT3 today — but will talk about that separately.
