Driving characteristics are entirely different between a BMW and a Hyundai, it isn’t just a placebo affect caused by the badge on the front. My husband had a ‘12 Sonata Turbo and I had an F25 X3 and an F15 X5 at the same time, it is an apples to oranges comparison, especially since my SUVs handled loads better than…

I have owned 2 GM vehicles, the hate is well placed.  I don’t care how nice this is, will never buy another GM product again.  While that may sound sort of short sighted, and maybe their new products will be paragons of reliability and quality, I seriously doubt it.  That said, interior looks nice, front end is ok,…

That red plaid interior is giving me flashbacks to my Dad’s ‘81 Ford Fairmont.  I think the glut of boring interiors is the result of Gen X kids having to look at those colors everyday for a decade. Seriously, it was bad. 

I agree, I am leaving BMW for the time being right now too.  I have an ‘18 X3 M40i, and my Cayenne E Hybrid should be here within the month (special order). The interior quality, base to base is pretty comparable (base X5 to base Cayenne, base X3 to base Macan) but if you want to, you can make the Porsche really nice…

I have a 2020 Cayenne E Hybrid that is currently on a boat heading towards me and MSRP is right at $115k. While CPO is nice, there aren’t many E Hybrids (2019+ new style with better electric range/motor) available, or if they are, they aren’t optioned the way I would want them. The other thing to consider is how much…

I think the main issue is that a ton of people are house poor, but still want the fancy car. I could afford a nicer house, but when I already have one that is fairly new (built in 2013) and the payment is comfortable, why would I move up? A lot of people in my neighborhood have seen the $180-$200k value jump and sold…

An X3 M40i will beat the base and S Macan easily, and unless suspension upgrades were put on the Macan, the BMW will probably handle just as well. The Macan Turbo and X3M w/ Competition package would be an interesting match up though.

While true, LATCH systems do have weight limits. Each vehicle has a different limit and it is always the weight of the car seat + the weight of the child (read the owner’s manual). At some point, even with LATCH, you have to secure the car seat with a seat belt.

I have a Cayenne on order, it has a tow rating of 7,700lbs.  It is a crossover. 

I’ve bought (not leased) 3 new BMWs in the past 5 years.  I will not be buying another if this goes through. 

Combined car payments for me and my husband were $1235/month, this was 10% of take home pay, not gross, take home. It may seem like a lot, but we are staying in our more modest house and not worried about keeping up with the Joneses, we just buy what we like.  That said, we paid off one car in 3 years, and the other…

This thing is going to look terrible with a US form factor front plate.

I’ve bought (not leased) 3 BMWs brand new, within the past 6 years, this thing is ugly and has me going to a different make.

They haven’t sold the 6 GT here in at least a year.  Also, this is a 5 Series with a stretched wheelbase, so you get 7 Series room for 5 Series price. 

The wheels look weird because that is a Euro spec 530e, so they are aero wheels.

He was a Senator for Delaware, you should probably look into how many banks and credit card companies are headquartered there (the fact that Delaware has very friendly incorporation laws is just the icing on the usury cake).

So, how do you feel about the Panamera? I’ve been told by 911 drivers (on forums) that they would never waste money on any 4 door Porsche (haven’t seen any of them say anything either way on the Taycan).

True, although if optioned correctly, the Cayenne drives small.  Honestly, the truck would hold it’s resale better than either the Macan or Cayenne. 

Every Cayenne is rated to tow 7700 lbs, and you could get a very nice base, or lightly optioned S for the price of this Macan Turbo.
