    No digital dash on a $100k car in 2018... Whoa

    I agree... Smiley There is nothing wrong with an analogue dash but even my wife, she hates new tech, loves the digital dash in our E63S. Just yesterday she asked me if her C63S Cab will have a digital dash and when I said yes, I anticipated an opposed reaction from her but she was happy about it.

    I know the marketing department like to take some liberties when retouching photographs for the website but this one for the new Macan is ridiculous as the graphic artist has enlarged the rear wheel so much that it looks like the car has been hot rodded

    It looks better live but it is a bit color sensitive in my opinion, more than the old one. The interior is much nicer, also quality level is almost Cayenne level now.

    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    So here we are at the end of October and the only new Macan we've got is a weaker base model. How much longer do we have to wait before we see the S and Turbo?

    Not looking good right now, engines are coming from Audi and need to be WLTP re-certified. Schedule was around Dec. but I even heard something about first quarter 2019. Smiley

    Not Macan but saw a white new Cayenne yesterday and found the new rear to be bland, generic and to my eyes very ugly.

    Saw my first Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S on the road today...had a Stuttgart customs plate, someone had apparently a factory delivery. Didn't even know that Porsche still does factory deliveries right now.

    Can't stand the new Cayenne. Front is alright but the back - yeesh. So many lines, ledges and edges; not cohesive at all, and the unpainted black part at the bottom is offensive at that price point. Not a fan at all.

    Looking forward to the Macan, although I always liked the simplicity and distinctiveness of the old model. Hope the new one doesn't bollocks it up in the flesh.

    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    I was told by the sales guy I've dealt with at my dealer for the past 12 years that the dealer presentation of the new Macan set for early next month has been cancelled at very short notice and may, just may, be rescheduled for some time in February. Sadly he has had enough and is leaving. He says he simply cannot earn a living any longer as there are no new  cars to sell with only one 911 due to arrive with them before the end of this year and no other new stock coming through. The dealership is trying to get by on used car sales but  rather than paying realistic prices for stock to loyal customers they are sending out emails offering top prices and then trying to low ball bid them. The whole situation is farcical and down to VW group's utter shambles surrounding dieselgate that caused all of this in the first place.


    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    This situation is ridiculous and unacceptable for a large luxury auto maker like Porsche. And yet many here are giving them a huge pass when they trash other companies ad nauseum...

    The new base Macan is the only model available to order in the US through the dealer. Configurator is not available online.

    What is the problem with Porsche?

    Late preparation on their behalf or something more inherent to their engines relating to emissions?

    BTW Porsche delivered a record number of cars during the first 7 months of 2018 but now it's standstill..!

    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    The cynic in me suspects that they delivered a record amount because they told dealers to stock up as they knew production was going to be suspended. A lot of extra allocation was suddenly made available in Q1.

    My dealer must have had around 25 + 718 Boxster and Cayman models arrive in the first quarter that they had to spec and were not customer ordered cars. To show you how crazy the situation is they did not want to carry the cost of that stock so looked to sell it as quickly as possible. I bagged a a great discount on the Cayman I bought as a result. All the cars were sold fairly quickly - I'm not sure how many were discounted but I suspect quite a number of them were - with the net result that less than two months later they had nothing new to sell. If they had drip fed these carst to market they could have sold all of them at full retail level as potential customers would have either had the choice to take something physically on site or wait for an indefinite period for a factory order to be fulfilled post WLTP certification.

     


    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    The leadership of VW Group is to blame. If they would have handled the emissions scandal in Europe the same way they did in the US, I doubt there would be the same (certification and driving restrictions) issues we have now.

    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    That's what basicly happened in Spain, not only with Porsche, but with all brands. Suddenly models selling 100 cars/year, sold 500 units in one month


    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    Macan S

    3.0 V6 TFSI 354hp. 480Nm
    0-100 km/h: 5,1 s (SportChrono)
    8,9 l/100km


    Re: Macan Facelift 2018?

    After the X3 M with 480/510 hp...is Porsche considering a Macan Turbo S with similar power??
