Gen 2 Macan S or Gen 1 Macan GTS

It is amusing as somebody stated above how that happens on forums and I could probably guilty of it myself

When I had a RS4 (B8) and the B9 came out I test drove it and said no way am I changing mine for that - not worth the extra to go backwards V8 to V6, same with the 981S and 718S were ultimately both had moved on over their predecessor.

Of course in my case I blew the spending extra out of the window on both occasions by spending more on each replacement and about to do it again when I ditch the AMG for the 992

992 is okay but surely a 430 Cup would be more fun

Yep, but if only one could stretch to this EV with 2000hp, horrendously expensive but maybe first show of things to come

Good old Henry Catchpole/Wolverine!

Ha ha

Mine isn’t far off that spec and didn’t cost me £110k for a plastic bath tub!

As for the new whatever you call it, very nice, I’m just about £1.75m short !

If you squint a bit it is very similar in many ways to my Leaf !

We've lost track. The original question is about a pre-facelift GTS versus a facelift S. This is a very different question to say a pre-facelift S versus a facelift S. In that case, given a choice between them, of course almost everyone would have a preference for the facelifted model.

Back to the original question then. Simon was asking what we would take between a pre-facelift GTS and facelift S. In my case, that answer was easy. I had that choice and I took the GTS. There's absolutely no way I'd rather have a facelift base or S in preference. I would of course prefer a facelift GTS - but it doesn't exist yet.

We also need to remember this is a slight facelift. We're kidding ourselves if we think the pre-facelift is 'older looking' and 'dated' in comparison. The generation 2 Macan will be announced in the next year or so. When that happens, we can comment on the generation 1 Macan looking dated...

It would also be helpful to stop referring to the facelift Macan as the generation 2 Macan! The generation 2 Macan is the upcoming all-new model.

Well is it though ?

What is the difference between gen 1 and gen 2 for example in the 911 range - visually only slight cosmetic changes

Sometimes significant mechanical changes but not always

I see this as a gen 2 and the new one will have completely different model designation thing 996>997>991>992

The current model is the 'first generation' Macan. As with other cars, generations tend to have 'updates' every year, and a 'facelift' half way through its lifetime.

The next model is the 'second generation' Macan.
