Am I missing something?

The prices aren't shown on the first page (model selector) but when you select your car and then go through to configure they are all there........if not try clearing your cookies/cache.

Worked for me last night!

I am now worried that, due to 'Brexit and the possible fall in value of the UK Pound, that the price will or could soar astronomically. Do Forum members think it would be a good idea for me (and others in a similar situation) to ask if I can pay the balance now, rather than wait to see what happens in March ? Might there be a downside in so doing ?
No reason Brexit should affect pricing in any big way really. We've heard all the scaremongering before and it never actually materialises does it!?

Britain is the biggest European market for German cars so huge price hikes would adversely affect the manufacturers cashflow & sustainability! There are big margins in car prices so I'd think German car makers would take most of any hit themselves in order to keep the market moving!

My new Macan delivered in December came with a type approval certificate showing both WLTP and NEDC So, here is the actual WLTP data for my Macan 2 Litre:
Low average speed - 295g/km - 21.7 mpg
Medium average speed - 222g/km -28.8 mpg
High average speed - 198 g/km - 32.5 mpg
Extra high average speed - 249 g/km - 25.7 mpg
Combined average - 233 g/km - 27.4 mpg

This is the NEDC data also shown on the certificate
Urban - 218 g/km - 29.7 mpg
Extra Urban - 166 g/km - 38.7 mpg
Combined - 185 g/km - 34.9 mpg
Wow what a difference... we really were being conned! I always ignored the Extra Urban & Combined figures anyway and just went by the Urban figure, being the lowest... but have to admit my current car (BMW 340i) doesn't even get close to that!

Just noticed that too. Suspect it is down to the current embargo....

I only averaged 20mpg on my 2010 Cayman PDK and 21mpg on my 2012 981 Boxster PDK and so the low average speed WTLP figures do not surprise me.
2021. Macan 2.0 Gentian. 12/21
2019. 718 Boxster T Carrara white.
2018. Macan SD Volcano.
2005. 987.1 Boxster S. Black.
2015 . Macan SD . Agate grey.
2014. Macan SD . Jet black.
2012. 981 Boxster PDK . Agate.
2010. 987.2 Cayman PDK. Aqua.

Good point NozyDog, UK car market size is one of few larger negotiating levers UK has with Germany. It seems more likely that we will have supply chain disruptions, because of new process in the harbour and checks on the border, before situation normalises again.

Have just returned from Silverstone OPC, paid my top up deposit on my Macan S order. I asked the question about any price rises and got a definite NO on that. No rises possible until the next year model version announcement. I see the prices are back on the web site. The explanation given as to why they were taken down was to do with the emissions issue and what the extras ordered (such as large wheels, sports exhausts etc.) would add to the emissions. As it stands no Macan S can be registered until April1st (very apt!). Seems like I am still on track for early April delivery with build slot in early March.

Macan works no issues - just have to go all the way to configure a vehicle (doesn't show on intro pics)

Cayenne is still down
