I honestly don't understand the concept of strapping an ungainly living room to 4 wheels, giving it a big engine and calling it a "performance vehicle."

Wouldn't you be better off with a comfortable actual performance car for this purpose and leave the mobile living room needs to your more than adequate Mazda?

Or why not one of those Lexus SUV whatevers that never seem to die? It's luxury enough and doesn't usually have to pretend to be a performance vehicle, right?

My Luxury SUV has an open back in case I ever want to actually haul stuff...

It is rated for 8700lbs. I mean it's no F350 but that's "fine" for a 1/2 ton truck. It's more than an Escalade EXT...

I just rent a trailer from u-haul when I need to haul stuff. The turning radius on my luxury suv is pretty good not having that extra length for a 6.5‘ bed in the wheelbase. ;)

Assuming the inspection goes well tomorrow looks like I'll be picking up the Macan Saturday. Hopefully no issues but it's very low mileage. Now I just need to make sure I get it serviced at the right intervals while I own it. I know the cost won't be fun and I've heard different Porsche dealers have different pricing too.

Ended up getting the car. Love how it drives and so does my dog Pablo. It's now always a race between my fiance and I on who gets to drive whenever we need to go anywhere.
