Interested in peoples views on Macan EV. Do we think it will drop like a stone as per the Taycan?

Yes I'd be interested as well, looking to order next year.

It needs to be priced in line with the current ICE models to have a fighting chance. The Taycan is grossly overpriced.

I think people will choose an ICE Macan over a new EV version so the prices of the ICE ones will hold firm. There will be an initial flurry because of the buzz built up around the launch etc etc but that will soon wear off just like the Taycan.

Taycan and Macan EV are different cars though. Taycan is a GT car that you can't take on long distances as the charging infrastructure is so poor. The Macan is a school drop-off/shopping/local area car, so will work better as an EV.

Thats true enough but I think the rose tinted glasses are starting to slip with regards pure EV cars. A whole topic in itself but thats the way I think and will be getting a last of the line ICE Macan before the order books shut and its too late.

Yes, I've started to think on those lines recently.

Watch this one go through collecting cars to give you an idea, I suspect it won't meet its reserve unless the seller "needs" to move it on, I wouldn't be buying a \n M3 touring if losing money on a Macan put you off. I think every Touring that has been on there has failed to sell FYI.

That’s the ex Litchfield donor / test car. Will be interesting to see if the warranty is still valid.

There is a 500 miles one on motorway with a reserve of £76k (plus about £500 fee for the trade buyer)

Maserati Grecale? I’ve driven the Trofeo and it was quite something - fit and finish is really good - miles away from the Maseratis of old.

Lovely looking thing but residuals are horrendous. Over a macan it’s about £500 more a month and the residual after 3 years isn’t pleasant reading.
