Not even remotely the first to do a 4-dr coupe......

That was Rover back in 1962, when they introduced a 'coupe' version of the Mk2 version of the Rover P5, when they effective did a factory roof chop on the P5, and reduced the roof height by 2" with a slope to the rear and slimmer roof pillars....and called it a coupe as well.

Hey Phil, What's up, stranger? I will check them both out when the time comes. Only 6 months in to my current lease. I'd do the Turbo, I imagine the Macan offers a Turbo also?

The Macan Turbo is a beast....drive one when you get the chance. I tried to talk the CEO into one but she luvs her Q3. But of course I'll circle back around when I think she's bored with it ……..Phil

I test drove a Macan Turbo before I got my C GTS and I liked it but the space was a little small as we will probably have kids soon and I snowboard a lot.

I would take a Macan over this Coupe every day of the year! Lower to the ground, PDK, and much lighter.

I thoght coupes only had two doors?

Also, never heard of an SUV referred to as a coupe
I believe the newer definition of the word “coupe” is sloping roof line.
But I fully agree, it should and has always meant 2 doors to me.
