I think it's brilliant and better than an X3. The X3 looks like a poor mans X5 to me but the X4 looks like a the younger brother of the X6. In other words the X6 is priced at such a premium that the X4 doesn't come off as a poor mans version of the X6 but as a sibling. It's much sportier looking than X3, and has forward thinking styling, whereas the X3 just looks like a cheaper smaller version of the X5.

A slope with no full panel glass roof. What complete BS.

Now a fully loaded 35i vs a macan s is tough but it is still cheaper with the same options, especially factoring in maintenance.
See below, not much lower. I optioned the two vehicles the same and came out very close. However, Porsche does offer more options to add on which can sway the price.

Apples to apples, the Macan S is $1900 more than the x4-35i. Of course, the 28i will be $5200 less.

Yea, I opted for the X4 28i. According to P-car owners, they're also expensive to maintain.

BMW has a very distinct front end that's easily identifiable as a BMW (kidney grill, corona headlights). Porsche styling is not as exaggerated, and unidentifiable by the untrained eye. For me, it's about making heads turn and standing out from the crowd (have to own at least one car in your lifetime to get it out of your system so you can tell your grandkids about it) versus blending in with all the other drivel on the road.
