Fuck Porsche for selling out.
Vancouver looks great in this ad!
I had order one
…or we can not! …. I like that part of the commercial.
Anyone that’s saying anything negative here has not driven a Porsche
Macan. Go test drive the car, put it on sport or sport+ and step on the
gas while going on a twisty road. After that you can only be amazed at
what Porsche has done with this car. If you are looking for a car with
practicality but great handling and sportiness, this is your choice.
There’s no doubt in my mind after a test drive that this is a true Porsche
in every sense of the word.
I spent months meticulously comparing, researching and test driving every
high performance SUV in the market place and ended up with the 2014
Infiniti QX70S V8. It was just outstanding in every way and half the price
of it’s closest competitive rivals the Merc ML500, Audi Q7 4.2, BMW X5 xD50
and Porsche Macan Turbo.
I also tried some Range Rovers but I’m hesitant to put them in the same
category because they actually perform well off-road, Rovers are somewhat
in a class of their own. I tried the Lexus RX430 as well, but as you know
it’s not a performance car. It’s soft, subtle, quiet, but handles like a
boat….
The Q5 TDI was awesome, but I felt that it was boring and lacked identity;
an incredible piece of engineering but just woefully uninteresting and
bland. The BMW X cars are just hideous in my opinion, and severely
overpriced. Merc was a solid car, but didn’t have the driving dynamic that
I was used to coming from a BMW E39 M5. Admittedly the Macan was not yet
available to test drive, yet I felt that a comparable Cayenne Turbo would
be a good representation of what the car would be like.
The Porsche is a superior car, nobody can argue that. But by the time I had
fitted the car with all of the options to match the QX70′s list of standard
features the car was almost three times the price of the Infiniti. It
became apparent that I was paying more so for the brand than anything else.
I don’t care what anyone says; the Infinities build quality and interior
design was far better than the BMW and the Merc; but no quite as nice as
the Porsche, Volvo or the Lexus.
All I can say is I love my Infiniti! I’m excited to drive it every day and
when I do I feel like the car is eager to make me an active part of the
experience, engaged and attentive in the driving dynamic. VS the Mercedes
and even the Volvo XC60, where I felt like a passenger even when I was
behind the wheel. Also, when I park the car I just can’t help but look over
my shoulder in owe of it’s design. Such defines the experience, if you can
walk away without looking back; you bought the wrong car.
If money was of no consequence, I’d likely have bought the Macan. But with
that said, I’m currently in the process of fitting a stage three turbo kit
to my QX70S with a small fraction of the money I’ve saved. When my QX70RS
is around, a Macan won’t get the time of day; only in my rear view.
JDM to the luxury extreme!
A simplified compacted Cayenne…that’s all .
macan turbo s is price at USD 72k and cayenne turbo s is price at 146k for
the top spec.
they both accelerate to 0-60m in 4.4 sec. are porsche trying to cannibalize
cayenne sales?
Macan? Sounds like a type of pastry.
guys guys, i drove in this thing 5 days after it was launched in south
africa. it is nothing and i mean nothing like the cayenne. if feels and
sounds like a proper sports car. so flippen amazing.
porsche macaroni.
what a bunch of BS–just give me the car
im gonna buy this car so Sooon
where it’s filmed ?
I rarely forward ads but this one is sort of tuned for my personality I
guess, the sound, the imagery (Vancouver ! ), driving shots. Somhow I
connected enough with it that it gave me goosepumps before they actually
showed that same reaction on the actor in the video … LOL
Fail. The only good thing about Porsche SUV’s is they generate more money
for them to create actual Porsches like the GT3/Turbo/918.
If I had the money
Absolutely Beautiful!!!!
