http://www.porsche.com/canada/en/models/macan/ So I guess this is for sale now? Reason I ask is because in the past three days I've seen 4 of them in RHill alone (my hood and plazas south of me). I know a new car has JUST been released as I go by if asians have already started buying them and taking delivery since I won't bother checking online to know. Same thing with the new c-class...and on and on. So basically it's a baby cayenne? Not bad looking (front grills are kinda overboard lol, very aggressive front end by the back end is so clean/boring compared to it)....but is it useful? Kinda looks like the old-gen RDX shape. Dat price doe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i started seeing them on the road late in last year, and more the last month or so.... true to the porsche name, it looks like EVERY OTHER PORSCHE SUV lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^lol yeah. oh wow it's been on sale that long? and our local asians were NOT first all over it?! dang son. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Driven both the Cayenne and the Macan, I'd take a Macan any day. That PDK though |

replace white bmw with white porsche macan |

Was checking out potential replacements for our current x3 (last gen), saw it at the autoshow and was disappointed at how tiny the interior is; despite the outside looks like it's about the size of the x3. I'm not a tall guy by any means and with my seating position, there's already barely any leg room in the back (i.e. no go for a rear facing car seat). As well, the sloped tail gate pretty much guarantees you can't put anything in the back that's bigger than a golf bag (which is probably what it was meant for anyways). It's just as useless as the Q3 (probably the same platform anyways). Will pass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Why are you looking to replace the X3? Problems? And yes the Q3 is the same platform as the Macan, just at double+ the cost. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thought the Macan was based off the Q5? |

Q3 seems decent...never been in one so dont know of ride or issues with it? can you ball out for a range? what does a base GLK benz go for these days? (i see tons of those, asians love dem) we have a '15 CRV on order to replace the shitvic for july, i am peasant so that's all we can afford for now. |

Where have you been? It's been long enough that used ones are popping up now. http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/Macan...CPO&orup=3_15_4 It was at the 2013 Toronto autoshow. I couldn't see the hood line when I was inspecting the car, and went like this when we saw this was happening. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
LOL $80k used...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^^ guess they haven't sold many - prob cray priced is why for what you get. i only seeing them recently in my hood...where you see many nice cars often. also i been too busy to worry about this/that car coming out. just making an observation. from some of the new volvo's i've seen...shit's looking good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

Nope, it's been pretty good, other than the driver's seat pan worn through. But I always look around to see what's out there as a replacement -- even though we keep our cars for as long as we can (until someone smashes into us). |

More like sold out with a 5 month wait (not sure if it's still that hot but I'm sure its sold out NA wide). I don't really see the new Cayenne too but I think that is also probably sold out with a 6 month wait. |

Caymen GT4 is nice but if I were to buy a Porsche, it has to be 911 something. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
If you look at the pricing on Porsche.ca, the GT4 is like $96K pre-tax. The base 911 (350HP)is like $99K pre-tax Just sayin' But if I get a P-car, it will be either S or GTS (GT3 is just straight baller starting at $200K) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
oh...i was talking GT3 - you can scoop them up for $160k range i believe, slightly used lol. |
