Has anyone place an order yet on the new Macan? Has OPC given an expected delivery date? What spec have you gone for? New interior, could the interior changes gone further or is it a great combo? Ooh lots of questions "................ launch photos look great IMO

Like the Cayenne it's an evolution rather then revolution. So if you like the previous one, unless you have a vested interest, I can't see why you wouldn't like the facelift smile Equally its not going to convert anyone that didnt like the original.

Looking at some side by sides:

As expected they've largely followed the same methodology as the Cayenne. Front and rear ends look better to my eye and I imagine like the Cayenne the changes will be more obvious in the metal. Side profile doesn't look much different, but there may be a more pronounced difference in the metal.

The centre console looks much much better with the larger screen and vents moved to the bottom. The old setup really dated the interior to my eye, with the massive vents either side of the small screen making it look even smaller. I wonder if the designer intended it as a homage to Gary Lineker smile My dislike of the buttons is documented on the Cayenne thread, IMO they should have got rid for a cleaner look like the Cayenne.

Since I do very little mileage I've toyed with the idea of switching down, but I've decided to hold out for the Cayenne Coupe.
