The turbo is significantly crazier than the 4, so I suspect the latter is the detuned form of a yet-to-follow model in between. (Although the price difference is pretty narrow.) That upcoming model (whether it's an S or GTS) will presumably use the same drivetrain/suspension etc. so I'm really...

I agree on the dearth of reviews of the 4. However, the SavageGeese review talked a lot about the suspension, steering and overall feel, which had nothing to do with the power of the turbo. I would take the reviewer you mentioned with a grain of salt.

Nope, yep, yep, fuckno. I do quite like Tom Ford with TopGear (and his writing is even better than the filmed stuff). (Went with the yellow review; stunning color, suits the car very well. Wouldn’t be caught dead near one, mind you, but I’m glad it exists.)

So many choices.. not sure which of the "yellow" reviews to watch.. or maybe I'll keep it simple and go for the "lavender", no conflicts there.

A seller will charge what the market bears. You're not, in any way, subsidizing US prices :rolleyes:; perhaps a better perspective into what drives pricing policy would be things like: average income, market size - especially relative to the cost of operating/certifying the model for sale in...

Is that, like, a handstand or something? Or is it more of a “pose”, a la Usain Bolt? Glad to see the Macan off to a good start. Hope it won’t disappoint. I’ll be curious to see how the new Taycan fares.

Does work for me either (tried Edge and Duck). Given your location, OP, I’m guessing it’s the press release drives - we should get a new wave of reviews soon.

BTDT with ordering a new Porsche. The Macan EV is a very compelling replacement for our ICE S, but I’ll be picking one gently used, for 1/2 price in ~3 years.

I’ve noticed that, no matter how you move those circles, the air still flows into the car. That’s job done. (I have low standards, it helps.)

😕👍 Although at least that feature works..

The scroll button is right there, and the detents help with precision. Plus I hate fingerprints on that display. Interesting point about letter input; I tried that several times, when the nav voice command is useless and the keyboard is disabled. IMO it is quite possibly the most useless...

“Insanely dumb” - 😂. It is literally one of the 2 buttons on the steering wheel I use (the other being the volum control, which, okay, is not a button). Goes to show how vastly different preferences can be. Hopefully they kept the ability to program at least one button on the wheel; it would be...

The upper models have 5 dials, whereas the lower ones have to make do with 3. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In other words, it’s “the Porsche interior”.

Looks very nice indeed. Vents seem to be manually adjustable now, there appears to be a physical volume button, and the closed cubby would be more useful than a tray under the screen. I am not bothered by the current layout or absence of buttons; I rarely touch the climate controls, and the...

I should add that that^ is because it’s a museum; if it were a contemporary showcase, it’d say “we like to sell limited edition models. A lot of them.”

The Mercedes museum tells a story. The Porsche says “yeah, we like to go racing. And win. A lot. 🤷🏻‍♂️”

Yep - they just hired a new VP of Software Engineering, this should get fixed pronto. /s

I suspect more power would have meant beefier motors, power electronics and so more weight, reduced efficiency or more battery etc. (If I’m not mistaken, the Tesla that beat the Taycan had/has 3 motors.) For all I know, more power might have meant a beefier single speed transmission, and so the...

I thought by now you'd knew when I'm shitposting tongue-in-cheek, though the complexification quip was half serious. There was a clear advantage to 2-gear transmissions on the Taycan, and the proof is that Tesla beat those numbers "the American way" (more power!). As in, at a given/fixed power...
