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

"The name is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger and according to Porsche it embodies the suppleness, power, and dynamics of the new model."

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.
