I agree. When my wife decided she wanted a new car, we looked at several brands, and test drove, and sat in different vehicles. Many were just not at all what she wanted, and had crappy interiors and lousy ergonomics.
We had seen and sat in a new Macan at Porsche Parade, and she was smitten. We wen to the local dealer, and test drove a Macan Base and a turbo, and a Cayenne (too big) and she found what she really liked. We went home, and went to the Porsche web site, and she "built her car" to fit what she wanted. That has a MSRP, but as a USAA member they have a car buying service. Tow dealers in Dallas gave us firm quotes. We went to the local dealer, and they matched that price of several grand off of sticker. 3 months later her car arrived. It has been perfect.
We only put down a small down payment, and did not pay the full price until delivery.
