No Macan diesel Dealers still have overheads to meet could be an interesting year

Someone will be along soon to blame Brexit

[TDT]

They’ve hardly had anything new to sell as a result of factory shutdowns and WLTP.

[Twinfan]

Exactly, I'm surprised the figures aren't worse...

[Cheib]

Yup....imagine being an OPC Sales Exec with a heavily commission based remuneration package.

[anonymous-user]

And they’ve had to shift those faster, more efficient and better awful forced induction engines as well...

[anonymous-user]

Options take more profit out of each deal with lower p/x
Get more factory support
Take more profit out of second hand sales
Cut staff

Those overheads need to be covered and the overall package of products aside from the few GT cars is less attractive mainly due to engine line up

[donutskidmark]

I blame brexit

[Ziplobb]

I bet they still would not let me order a GT car though

Sorry, I am in an irritable mood and this made me grind my teeth so:

Its THEIR not there.

What the fk has happened to education and caring about grammar. A 10 word sentence with two grammatical errors.

What’s that saying about people who live in glass houses?

Wasn't entirely being specific, as they have sprung up all over the place in the past 5+ years, but of the more recently built ones that are likely still having to be paid off, I was thinking about Porsche West London, what used to be AFN.

[detee]

My OPC had no stock in December when I went to change my Cayenne. So I kept the Cayenne and bought an Alpine a110! Bit random I know.

Indeed. I am a grammar idiot. My house is full of broken windows.

But, their and there is pretty bad along with brake and break and missing apostrophes.

I know someone with a Macan diesel, he thinks it's a great car and wants to replace it for another one, but can't, for the obvious reasons.

So now apparently his Macan options are one with a VAG 2 litre engine which isn't powerful enough, or a larger petrol engine which is far too thirsty.

He knows he won't have either of those and doesn't know what to replace it with either, so he's hanging on to what he's got.

I would think there's a fair few Cayenne Diesel owners in the same situation.
