I recently saw a Panamera in that color. I also know of someone that purchased a Macan S from the PCA Mart in the same color.

There was no forcing of my hand, but net-net, it helps my situation as a customer.

And these cars, once into year 2 of preowned, the depreciation is quite good.

The interior is quite nice. It’s not Audi. It’s not BMW. Better than Porsche circa 2018. Lots of buttons.

The ceramic thing I only spent the thousands because you all swear by it. We will see. If it lasts even a month in this hellish blaze of UV irradiation, then I will be a believer.

Mahogany.

It was this, Gentian Blue or Miami Blue.

As my sales people said “it looks like brown turd” but I can’t eat a 911 color on a Macan. It looks ultra try-hard to me. And the Miami Blue is……..loud.

Brown is a good color for that car—looks nice!

LOL- you must have a cool salesperson. Interesting about the Gentian bllue - I'm not sure I'd have associated that with being a 911 color in particular since its just a fairly conservative dark blue. But the mahogany looks nice- and you dont see it everyday like black, white, grey and blue. I have to admit that I kind of like seeing Mamba green Macans occasionally too.

My guy is a professional racer but also a Porsche Ambassador. Yes. He’s painfully honest.

Lot more seat time in the Macan now, especially on the 5. It’s fine. It can certainly keep up with traffic. It’s slow from 70mph to 95mph, but this is likely unreasonable as an ask.

I am really digging it.
