    That car is just a Mini Cayenne! Probably they even will get the rear better than on the big brother. Nice!

    Absolutely agree. The Cayenne rear is the big downside of that car. Smiley

    Agree - And I tell you why - the Cayenne and Macan are a bit still looking like the very first Cayenne many years ago - so we are used to it and it looks dated. The Evoque is a very new and fresh design - thats why! Smiley

    Question is: Would I buy the Macan or the Evoque? Well...I would buy the Macan. The Evoque is too stylish for my taste.

    I loved the Evoque when it came out, but now we see so many and I got tired of the style . Too ' transformer' cartoonish !

    I was thinking the same thing but thought was the only one. Its style was refreshing when it came out but unfortunately got very tiring and dated very soon to me.

    See. There is an advantage to living deep in the heart of Africa. I think I have seen one (probably from South Africa) , so it still looks fresh to me.

    I would never buy a car officially endorsed by Mrs. Victoria Beckham. Apparently, LR Marketing are trying to position this model very differently from my own aspirations.

    Same feeling here abt the Evoque. Too girly and cartoonish...

    I have seen the Evoque at a local dealer recently, the car is stunning in its very own way. I am happy to see that the French and British manufacturers find ways to position their car that is totally different from the German philosophy. I do not find the Evoque girly or cartoonish, I have to say though that the exterior was in black which eased off the styling cues. I even more appreciated the interior layout although it is very small given the car´s size.

    What truly surprised me was the price tag, this two-door diesel version had a list price of 66 thousand Euros. I do know it is a fine line but who pays that much money for such a car? Some plastic parts on the interior rather remind me of a Volkswagen or Audi Q3 at best but one would find much more balanced alternatives for the requested price. Given the car´s appearance, I expected a price tag ten to 20 thousand Euros less.


    Re: "Cajun" is now...MACAN Thread Closed

    Yep, Evoque is overpriced. Cameras are shitty, suspension is shitty, plastic inside-shitty, acceleration- very jerky, outside looks (I agree with everyone above) are starting to look dated.

    What is great about Evoque-it will push car manufacturers to try new things, braver design rather than doing little facelifts from one model to the other...

    More information about my car: Apparently it comes with Michelin Sport...but I don't have a clue if Pilot Sport or Supersport. It also is on the truck as we speak but I don't have a clue where the truck is. My dealer planned a Thursday or Friday delivery, just in case but you never know. Smiley A very long weekend is coming, with two major events I would love to attend and it would be just perfect if the car arrives in time.

    Nice article in Autocar:

    http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/porsche-macan-blasts-370bhpNice Macan article in Autocar:

     

    The top-of-the-line Macan will be the first car powered by Porsche’s still-secret new twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, details of which are revealed here for the first time.

    Developed in-house at Porsche’s R&D centre in Weissach, Germany, the twin-turbo V6 is understood to have a 90deg vee and a capacity of 3.0 litres. It is believed to be a variant of the 3.6-litre V6 that powers entry-level Cayenne and Panamera models.

    Peak power and torque are said to be in the region of 370bhp and 400lb ft thanks to twin sequential Borg Warner turbochargers, an air-to-air intercooler system and other internal modifications, including a lower compression ratio than that of the normally aspirated 3.6-litre engine. That’s an increase of about 80bhp and 105lb ft over the non-turbo 3.6.


    Re: "Cajun" is now...MACAN Thread Closed

    Yes, I'm afraid no V8 for the Macan. surprise

    Panamera 3.6 V6 (Porsche) and Cayenne 3.6 V6 (VW) , don't share the same engine
