Gauss:Now it will become even harder to distinguish a Cayenne from a Macan.
Well, hopefully it enables the to make the Macan really smaller than the Cayenne. Nowadays it is what? 2cm smaller than a Cayenne? Makes absolutely no sense if you ask me. If they make a Cayenne coupe (for whatever reason, I never understood these kind of coupe SUVs), then I guess that gives Porsche the opportunity to make the Macan really smaller, maybe like a Q3 vs Q5 vs Q7?

Targa Tim:first of all, I never understand why a 4 doors is called a coupe.
second, same length but less trunk space, why?
I don't understand why there is a market for a SUV coupe! Big, heavy and no space.

I like real 4x4s that give that extra toughness and versatility compared to normal cars. I had two Mitsubishis, genuine off-road cars, which gave me a lot of service with towing and launching my ski boat often in deep sand and with traveling in muddy fields and snow covered roads. These cars were invincible in all kinds of terrain and you had no regrets sometimes scratching them.
Lifestyle SUVs are a waste of money. Besides their inflated prices they cost a lot to maintain in terms of tyres and brakes and they consume more fuel. On top of that they don't drive as well as sedans.
The best recipe IMO is an estate car (Avant, Touring etc.) with AWD for those who need the extra space and the all weather driveability.

Oh no, so glad to hear she is ok scifrog, and the kids were not with her at the time. I'd say Macan 10 - fire hydrant 1.
If its totalled, its going to be tough to find a substitute right now, maybe a short lease till the facelift is here?

SciFrog:The car is over 4 year old, even if they don’t total it, I should probably take a check and total it myself. Not worth the hassle and depreciated value of a heavily damaged car. When is the facelift coming again?
The facelifted Macan is ready and it has been driven by several magazines in disguised form. With excellent comments as to its driving.
It will be a 2019 model. So it will be available when production resumes at Porsche.

SciFrog:Wife was driving alone, shaken up but OK... Car might be totaled or not, not clear yet.
No idea yet about a replacement unless someone has acces to a prototype Macan EV
So sorry to hear that, glad your wife is OK, nothing else matters. Cars can be replaced.
Macan facelift is coming...if you guys want a Macan again.
Macan EV? Hmm...I'm afraid you need to wait for the next gen.

Glad your wife is unhurt
It seems the Fire hydrant was very big and solid...
My brother collided with a german fire hydrant in his VW Golf IV some years ago and the hydrant broke away and all the water came out of the street...it looked like a movie scene, when I arrived to help him
