I voted CP, but I’m really just here to say I like the spooky, hazy Halloween filter used in all the pics. Very timely.

We just ordered a Macan GTS with the PASM, and it does the same. Wish I could also fold the rear seats from there.

Yeah, don’t get me started on the GLA. That’s a straight up hatchback. When we were looking for a wagon, I compared the storage specs of the Macan and the F31, and they were almost exactly the same. And after recently sitting in the Maca, test driving, and poking around inside, it’s basically the same size inside as…

Link broken, my comment here:

I agree with you 1,000,000%, with one exception. See my comment below:

Not exactly the same, but I toyed with the idea of replacing our F31 with a Macan GTS. I went for a test drive recently expecting to hate it, because crossover. I grew up driving hatchbacks and wagons (mostly manuals!), and I figured I would hate the Macan. I really, really, really wanted to hate it.

2002 Hyundai Elantra GT

Mazda is everybody’s hero with these things. Make it happen!

Wasn’t the driver going roughly twice the posted speed limit? 🤔

Your comment is 🚮

Predictions based on consumer habits of spenditure and human behavior are definitely “stupid”. I can’t imagine any credible industry relying on them to some degree.

Every Maser GT owner when they blip the throttle: “Pretty sure it’s a Ferrari bro.”

I wonder too. Similar type of buyer, but opposite end of the spectrum. I assume they hold well.

But they do. The G65 isn’t just a tarted up G63, at least to those who buy them. These are purely status symbols, much more so than even the G63, and they tend to change hands from one wealthy individual to another, the V12 alone garnering most of the perceived value and driving demand. The G63 is almost justifiable.…

V10 diesel Touareg. Duh.

That’s true of all ICE cars.

“Mark, I’ll be upfront with a controversial opinion—I don’t love the SS. I think it’s heavy, has vague steering, sticks you with an aged and uninspired interior and handles like a family sedan that just so happens to have a V8.”

Nice stereo dude.

Having test driven a Macan GTS recently, I at least want to side with other reviewers who’ve said if you have to go crossover, this is the crown jewel. They’re not wrong. Still, it has little soul, even for a Porsche...will probably still end up getting another F31, because wagon.

Sad. But true.
