Re: EV Macan - again

Um, that snow plough wouldn't be of much use down here in Australia...

That lower front spoiler actually looks as bit silly - but otherwise it looks "OK" I guess...

Re: Macan EV Official Launch Date!

Is there any chance there’s a skunkworks operation at Porsche developing a new ICE car derivative of the new model on the quiet in case the EV strategy goes belly up ?

Re: 2024 Build Slots

I have to visit the dealer this coming week to lock down my build - Macan S. But still not sure about the Porsche route for what clients may think. Love the car but its just that 'what will clients think'? All clients or some ? I just hire a car (and visit as many as possible in that day) if it’s g...

In Australia the expectation is 10%. More if the spec is outside the norm.

Re: No ICE Macan from Week 16 next year?

[/quote] Well, it may well continue in production alongside the EV version for sometime, as in many markets where there are no restrictions or quotas etc., (like USA) the ICE Macan will still be their prime seller. What is being speculated, and likely some evidence to support it, is that orders for ...

Re: No ICE Macan from Week 16 next year?

The timeline is what is being indicated at my dealer in (RHD) Australia too.

Latest orders likely to be early next year at latest. No MY25 for us.

If you have OCD bad, it’s actually the only way not to have a blank spot in the centre console switch bank. I’d even have ordered the ioniser if it went in that blank spot.

Re: GTS exterior package painted in satin Black

I like it. To me it’s sportier. Body paint everywhere reminds me too much of the 80’s trend.

Stone chips easier to touch up too IMHO. I’d select it but that’s the Porsche beauty of individuality !

Re: New to Porsche - Looking at Macan EV

I'm completely expecting a very mild facelift for the ICE Macan in a year or two to keep it going for a while yet. I'm in Australia. Really can't see them discontinuing the lesser spec models that is over 50% of their sales numbers, especially with the charging infrastructure here (inferior to the U...
