Did a test drive in a Macan S
Thinking of replacing the 2008 Highlander Limited so I test drove a Macan S the other day and liked what I saw. I actually think it's a good compromise as I was thinking of possibly getting a Cayman but this would solve both problems of getting back into a Porsche and replacing the Toyota.
Not thrilled with the white the dealer has although it's optioned pretty nicely. The earliest allocation they have available is September so I've tentatively put a hold on that spot for a lightly optioned Jet Black Metallic w/Luxor Beige interior.

Ooooh I want to drive a Macan!
I have spent quite a bit of driving time in the Cayenne, because it's the most common service loaner when I'm at the dealer, but have yet to drive a Macan. The more I read about it, the more I want one. Is limited availability really as bad as I read? I guess so if you're going to have to wait until September to get what you really want. Did you drive the Base and S version? If so, how noticeable was the extra power output? Trade the Highlander in! Women will love you and men will fear you lol When you trade it in, we want pics! |

Right now the base version is the S and the next level up is the Turbo. For my needs the S is plenty of power.
As far as availability goes it varies widely and some dealers have quite a few. The local Indianapolis dealer only got a handful in and 2-3 we're customer cars. I think they sold one of their allocation cars so now they've got 2 left and whichever doesn't sell will be the demo until they get more in.

I was at Barber Motorsports this past weekend and had an opportunity to check out a Macan S. I loved it! Way more than the Cayenne. Porsche is going to sell a lot of these!
