The macan is pretty much like the X4, remember Porsche isn't Porsche anymore.
It's VAG/Porsche.
So the macan is a rebadget Q5 with some tweaks, and a couple of VAG diesel's.
That's porche for you these days.
So stop whining about BMW and how theyr changed, it's happening all over.
If you don't like the X4, don't buy it.
I'd love to see a comparison from chris harris on the macan vs X4.
Over here, the macan cost 15% more than the X4, and doesn't offer an entry level solution like X-drive 20d.
Personaly i like the LCI X3 better than the X4.
I've been following this thread very closely and I'll have to chime in here. The Macan is certainly not a "rebadged Q5 with some tweaks". Thats like saying the 911 is a rebadged Beetle. Have you taken a look at the some of the reviews so far?? The Macan driving feel and chassis dynamics are at this point outclassing anything in the segment. The Macan is more of a larger Cayman than it is a smaller Cayenne. Don't take my word for it, take a look at what I feel is one of the best most unbiased automotive sites on the internet.
