Consumer Reports Says New Macan Is For Those Who Lust For Performance Not Pandering For A Bargain

Does anyone really expect they will get a 'bargain' from Porsche?
If a Teutonic bargain is desired, directly go to your local VW dealer and don't stop at go.

This car will also compete with Lexus NX, which will be the benchmark of all compact luxury SUVs.

What's up with all those deboosts? Lexus NX is the most beautiful compact luxury SUV in the market right now.

And most likely will even outperform a BMW M3.

Ha ha ha. Yer funny JDMUSMuscle!

I'll take the bait and play into your silly delusion, there, I did it! The NX is probably the ugliest offering I have seen in years! That's not edgy cool, it's just ugly. Who could trust a manufacturer with such an atrocious recall record anyway?

So then I take it that you don't trust General Motors as well.

But you trust Chrysler, since they do not recall a lot?

Your logic just makes me laugh.

What's funny is that Lexus is falling all over itself to say that the NX is not a RAV4, but the Macan is a Porschaudi and like the NX it's based on something prosaic.

JDMUSMuscle has a point the NX will be a killer in the sales. If they point a powerful engine it like the Macan Turbo nothing will touch it. So many people forget when Audi came out with a different grill and they said it will be death of Audi and looked what happened they went strength to strength. Most cars share some form of parts but when it comes to Lexus many people carry on like fools. It seems people dislike Lexus for no real good reason. It also seems that many have a short memory most german companies used Jewish slave labor during the war. They gained the skills from the jews that they did not have before. Some These companies were Merc, porsche and Hugo Boss. So before bashing the Japanese about their cars remember many german car makers have blood on their hands.

Really? Hadn't heard anything about the NX getting a line of powerful engines & a killer AWD setup for the twisties & all-weather conditions. If it is, can't wait. But I doubt the NX line of engines will be interesting at all. The NX will be the anti-Macon - best for theatre outings, winery runs, operas, groceries, & coffee house meetups. Good places to shout, "look at me, I'm a Lexus! That is all."

That hood with the head lamp cutouts is pretty cool, didn't see that before. The joke early on was that it was going to be called the paprika.

That's better than VW with Toerag, Tiguan (tiger + iguana), Taigun (Tiguan misspelled). VW vehemently denies that the production version of the CrossBlue will be called the Tarshunda, but says that the Trashauana name is still in play.
