I was pretty close to buying the hotrod version (I really wanted a turbo car after having a Turbo Cayenne)...but decided I didn't want a large car payment so close to retirement...and didn't have quite enough cash on hand that was not earmarked for something else. They are a very nice, sporty wagon. The biggest problem that I have always had with my Cayenne is that I prefer a smaller car and the Macan seems like a smaller, lighter version (still not small enough to suit me). The price, like all new Porsches seems a little steep and it also does not replace my Cayenne that will tow 7500lbs..so I would have to keep both. Great niche car...drives almost like a two-seater.

Personally, I would look for a gently-owned used model and avoid the instant depreciation upon driving it off the lot.
