I just hope Porsche doesnt forget the European buyers, who want sports cars.

Porsche make more sports cars, and more variants of those sports cars, than at any time in their history. I think Europeans will be ok.

Yes, you WILL be able to get it with wheels that big.

Or larger ones as an option.

I was following a Cayenne into work this morning. It was a 3.2 V6. The git driving it didn't even know the National Speed Limit. The Cayenne really does embody the essence or Porsche raping its own heritage, and the self-aggrandising douchebags that buy them. I just had to keep thinking 'it funded the Carrera GT, it funded the Carrera GT, it funded the Carrera GT'...

It probably funded every Porsche made in the last few years - it's arguably their best earner...

End of the day 'their history' is the VW Beetle/Camper anyway - if hippies could afford Cayennes they'd probably paint em pink

Macan, if pronounced with a k, is only one letter different than the not so nice slang word "makak" for North African people in Flemish...

If pronounced slightly differently it's "Raymond Luxury Yacht" too - and your point is?

I hate to break it to you, but they want SUVs too.

No, their wives want SUVs

How many of these are going to be called Madeleine?

None. I doubt that even the ghastliest of debt monkey ponce Porker owners would stoop that low.

By the same theory you could say it is only one letter differant from -
Macaw - Ideal for Parrot lovers

The new Porsche Macan - Small car with a big boot.

[MRCC]

This will help fund the development of the new Supercar in the £150k market along with the development of a new entry Boxster entry model.

It will do well.

Mr. CC.

True that. Cayenne was Porsche's top seller in the UK last year by a wide margin

Get over yourselves.

Some people might be annoyed that Porsche keep plodding away with those pesky 911s, since they're slowing production of Cayennes!

There's much room on the train to hell, I have a season pass

Based on the Audi Q5 no doubt?

I'd park up the jibes at someone losing their daughter. Pistonheads or Cretinheads. I'll let you decide.

This. It'll be a re-skinned Q5 for an even more ridiculous price. And it will sell like hot cakes.

Before the next Baby Porsche, based on the Golf.

Rinse and Repeat

My dream of owning a 911 is kind of becoming a bit watered down

Point proven I think, not everyone will make a "nice" assumption wtih that name...

Maybe it's just my twisted mind, or maybe it's the marketing stuff I studied that still plays a role...
