The interior felt like a cave and tech appears to be from the 70s. Everything is an option as well.

I think the Macan Turbo is will come closest in performance to the X3MC but way more money.

That said, I'm still a kid at heart and stomping on the gas and flying forward to law breaking speeds brings me smiles. If I was just looking for a comfortable transportation device, a Macan would fit the bill.

I have to admit I like the looks better than the X3M though.
Turbo is gone for 2022 but all models came up in power, so the GTS is now the top option but has the same power as the turbo did in 2021 (434 I think it is) which means they have left some room above the GTS, so I wonder if there will be a Turbo with 500hp maybe in the future? Price came up with power though so 2022 GTS is almost the price of the 2021 Turbo at 80 grand to start (turbo was 85 last year but GTS was like 73).

Looks wise, I like the Macan, but I find the Macan could be more aggressive especially on top models as besides wheels and tailpipes the 4 cyl model and GTS look the same.
