What a perfectly awful name for a reasonably good looking SUV.

It embodies the suppleness, power, and wheels of a cheap drug dealer's car looking thing.

I'm interested - I like Cayennes, but they are bigger than I need, but I still would like to keep the AWD (I have a CRV now). I really like the looks of the Audi Q5s (which is what they are basing the Macan on), so I think it will be sharp looking. I'll have my order in.
