Welcome to our friendly forum! :)

Many would say that the BMW M2 is a sports saloon/coupe. ;)

And yes, the Macan is very quick and a great handler, for a sporty SUV! :)

Oh and welcome :)
Well... it kind of is, it'll certainly out handle any other 'high riding' car on the planet! :D
Well, it kind of isn't. Actually no it simply isn't a sports car. It is, however, a sporty SUV and, yes, I would agree that it is probably the best handling SUV around and manages to be supremely comfortable at the same time. Hence my comment that it is an awesome car :)
I think to state that it 'isn't a sports car' is kind of stating the obvious to all who have seen one! The reason I said 'well it kind of is', is because the way it drives & handles will far exceed the expectations of pretty much anyone who drives one for the first time and it will handle as well or better than some so called sports cars... but then it is a Porsche! :D
