That's probably about right, but keep in mind:
  • The Q5 itself is a high end vehicle. It's not as if the Macan is a rebadged Ford Escape.
  • The parts that are Porsche-specific are probably the ones that affect performance the most. Engine, transmission, suspension, that kind of thing.

I'm sure that at whatever point I were to cross-shop a Macan against an X4, I would wind up with an X4 because the economics can't be compared. They are both cool cars.
