It'll be relevant in Italy. They tax cars over 2,000cc very heavily. Hence Ferrari developing the 208 Turbo and Lotus developing the 2.0 Turbo GT3.
Ah yes, I'd forgotten Italy's strange tax barrier at two litres. That still exists then? It will sell sh** loads.
How many new 5 series do you see that aren't a 520d ?
They even fit the 520d with twin pipes these days so at a brief glance no one knows.
It's also a cracking 4 pot engine, they've made it for years so I expect it costs 50 quid per unit by now.
No brainer really.
4 cylinders never held the Evoke back, just take a walk around Mayfair !

Interest way for Pistonheads tio cling to its illogical ove of anything Porka. The idea that putting a VW four cylinder in the Macca somehow makes it a real Porsche.
Alternatively you could spin it another way. It is a facelifted Audi Q5, which of course it is. Same floorpan, same gneins and transmission, same electronics and ancillaries.
Porsche the joker in VW's pack of cards, or is that joke.

Saw a Macan parked up yesterday - I actually thought it looked ok, and I'm not a Porsche / SUV / crossover fan at all.
I'll never buy one, but many people will.
I don't really care whether Porsche build a four cylinder SUV type thing - and I don't know why anyone would. It means they can raise funds for 911 variants (which I still don't really care about
)

The Cayenne is built in Bratislava by VW, it's even got a VW chassis code. It also looks like a fat, tall 911, where as the Panorama looks the offspring of a 911 and a Maxi.
