You raise a valid point. If you're looking for variations in design you could always just take the standard rims with the car and look to aftermarket options such as Momo or OZ Racing. Even BBS do some awesome looking rims. You have loads to choose from and you could part finance by flogging your standard jobbies off the Macan you just bought! Just a thought!

That’s an idea. Lazy me would like a one stop shop. And would non standard wheels threaten the warranty?GMAN75 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 11:42 amYou raise a valid point.

Don’t know but I get the impression from seasoned owner that Porsche can be sensitive.

And back to one other question, is it conceivable that the suspension upgrade makes for a more acceptable ride on the 21s. It does appear as if Porsche believe they’re the main focus.

So “technological vanguard” means a detuned version of the existing 4 cylinder 2.0 petrolGMAN75 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 10:50 pmHow does this square up?

How does this square up with a detuned 4 cylinder petrol with less hp than it’s predecessor. Think I will be staying with my SD for some time to come.

I think your thought process is too linear and rather directly literal when it comes to this particular point. I would venture that their comment was quite general and brand specific not model specific and certainly not specific to this particular release. They are, however, looking to capitalise on their largest market, their largest demand profile and their largest growth market generally to generate the revenue growth which supports their view on technology in, I would suggest, other models or indeed other variants.mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:46 pmSo “technological vanguard” means a detuned version of the existing 4 cylinder 2.0 petrolGMAN75 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 10:50 pmHow does this square up?

When you view it like that, yes, it gels!

Non-Porsche wheels would affect the car’s resale value, negatively.
