The Macan is the sixth model in Porsche's lineup, and will sit just below the Cayenne in the family hierarchy. Conceived to be the 'sports car' of its segment, the new Macan embodies the sporting DNA of the Stuttgart automaker.
The base variant features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine - the smallest in Porsche's current lineup - and packs 237bhp. But at $218,888 (w/o COE), do you think the Macan 2.0 is a good buy?

a base macan will set you back at least 320k if you were to buy it from the Stuttgart.

Of course its not a good buy.
Who needs a 4 wheel drive off-roader in Singapore?
Which mountain you gonna climb?
If you had 300k to burn, buy a small car and donate the rest to charity.
You will be happier for it. If you have to ask this kind of question,
your life my be really empty and vacuous.

Models, not makes, but fair enough. Of course it can't be someone with a Cayenne, that's equally ridiculous. And a Panamera is on the borderline. Just the 911, Cayenne and Boxster owners, and I think the latter (possibly the latter two) will be too embarrassed to be scoffing much. So that just leaves the 911 owners to do the scoffing, if they're so inclined. ![[laugh]](http://www.mycarforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png)

Halo, most of the expensive SUV are not off-roader.
Sometime, ppl ask this kind of question to show that they have $$$.
It is not a question per se.

To me, Porsche has 2 product line, purist & B&B. I only luv their purist line. But i don't scoff B&B line as it keeps the factory growing to sustain purist line.

Seems like Porsche Macan is the cheapest porsche, its a good buy if u r brand cautious. But not for those who are scraping through to buy one, cos the maintenance must be crazy since its a porsche. With the same price you can get a M-class or a RX350, which im guessing are slightly bigger than the Macan.
