We have the really thin electric embedded wiring in our 1 year old Volvo too... It works a charm. I know Geely bought Volvo from Ford, but that was eight years ago already... Licencing deal maybe?N13LXC wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 12:31 pmI think he’s right on the IP & ford... but only for the ones where an element is embedded in the front screen. Thunk the only models currently offering it are in the JLR group. (Had t on a rental disco at Christmas time).
The others all seem to use the method of blow a ton of air at the windscreen...annoyingly in my merc it wouldn’t allow aircon on at the same time, basically not drying the air first...so glad that car is gone!

I think that the RS4 is still pretty decent though. I had the avant and it was quite a “do it all” car. I have not tried the latest variant but seems to be getting good press.

Good review, thanks for taking the time. I'm a new owner with about 2 weeks under my belt. I got the turbo and came from a 911 (991.1) Carrera S. Have to say. I miss the prestige of the 911 but love the practicality of the Macan turbo. Yes, one day I will probably have both, for now the turbo seems to be an excellent choice.

They’ve had it in fords for a long time. First I remember is a 2002 ford focus silver edition. Probably long before that too...Orangebulldog wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 2:06 pmWe have the really thin electric embedded wiring in our 1 year old Volvo too... It works a charm.

In the past, I have fancied both a Range Rover Sport and an Audi RS4/RS6. However, I honestly can't see myself in anything other than a Porsche from now on...
