Congrats on the car! Demand must be strong, there is only one 1 listed on ebay motors and its the turbo, They're asking 88k!!

If it were my money I would take the larger Cayenne, however the Macan is a much nicer car (aesthetically).

What does a Macan S cost with all the features that you have?

Will be interesting to see if the upcoming Lexus NX F-Sport will be a MAcan S competitor and provide the same type of driving dynamics, power, handling and performance.

Early indications are that the NX (2.0t & hybrid) will compete with CUV's like X3, Q5, GLK, RDX etc. It will be interesting to see how it handles vs. that competitive set. My guess it that it will be good.

Macan S starts at $50K,, ~$60 is the sweet spot moderately optioned. Can go up to $70K++ if one goes crazy on options.

The NX is gonna sell like crazy, guaranteed!

Thank you!! And yes you're correct it's just an optical illusion as the Macan is 4 inches longer, has a 3 inch longer wheelbase and is 5 inches wider then my 2IS. Crappy photog work on my part LOL

Question. The Macon has a red leather option and you went with black. Personal preference?

It is a beautiful vehicle!

Before red, white on black was the enthusiasts choice. Classy
