In 1 Corinthians 13:11, Paul says, “When I became a man, I put away childish things”—but if we all followed his lead, Lego would have gone bankrupt years ago. The Macan 4S Electric, the one-from-the-top model of Porsche’s new battery-powered SUV, reminds us a lot of the hot hatchbacks we had (or wanted) in our youth, and might still be driving had we not been mercilessly crushed beneath the demands of adulthood. So is the Macan 4S Electric the fountain of youth, or is it merely the vehicular equivalent of a toupee or a trophy wife, an attempt to render vivid that which cannot be revived? Time to test the 4S and find out.
