Time will tell on the 2019 Macan. Early reviews on the 2019 Macan S perfornance are mixed. In the US, we won't see the refreshed models until spring. The GTS and Turbo will reportedly have yet a different V6 engine and may not be seen till 2020.
As for swapping, I drive both vehicles (we are retired) and, so I don't have to choose. I've owned several Porsches and I like owning the Macan but wish it had the low end torque of the straight 6 of the M40i. My salesperson says I should have gotten the Macan TurboPP. I have not driven one but that would have been $110K, almost 2X the cost of the M40i. That's kind of crazy for an SUV, don't you think? |
$110k for a loaded Macan? Hmm... If I have that kind of money to spare, I would consider getting the upcoming X3M and keep the change for a nice long European vacation... Or, upsize the ride to a X5 M50i or something similar like a nicely optioned Cayenne.
