I'd buy me a Turbo. I think the Macan looks much better than it's bigger brother, the Cayenne.

I think the Q7 is still on the 1st gen. platform shared with the 1st gen. Cayenne and T-regg. Will the new Q7 skip the 2nd gen. V.A.G. Platform and go directly to the 3rd? The Cayenne lost ~400 lbs when going to 2nd gen. which debuted as MY 2011 if I recall correctly. A refresh with the Macan's rear end would do wonders for an already great SUV. ( We have a 2013 which has been awesome ).

2011 X3 tested by Motor Trend 0-60 5.6s http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/specs.html 2014 SQ5 tested by Motor Trend 0-60 4.8s http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/..._audi_bmw.html Anyway it doesn't matter to me except that coming from a V8 M3, I thought the X3 35i was slow and the SQ5 feels very fast. |

Very nice Transfer, black always been a good Audi color. Congrats again, your M3 is almost identical to mine, same MY, options and very similar miles except mine is Jerez black.

Although, i've heard a few new owners were able to swing custom colors. Two Misano Red SQ5s are in the US right now! I think i'd go for their Suzuka Grey on the RS5 for the SQ5. |

Kinda putting BMW to shame. I'll take the smaller, funner Macan Turbo. It just sucks it shares the same under pinnings as a Toureg.

I'll have to test drive one. I have an e92 M3 as well, in addition to having owned 4 different TTV8 N63 (1 DINAN flashed) F Series cars, I wouldn't categorize my X3 35i slow, quite the contrary, based on butt Dyno and other factors. Perhaps I have a factory freak N55. The Motortrend test results you posted are the slowest I have seen for the 35i. Anyway enjoy that SQ5 nice ride no-doubt ![]() ![]()

I've seen that Misano red one online. I think the owner said it was a $2500 custom color. Not too bad really considering their pearl colors are already $1k. I'm going to be really curious to see how much better the Macan is to the SQ5 when people finally get to drive it. I'm sure it will be better but I wonder if it will justify the $10-15k price bump.

Wow didn't think 0-60 in 5.3 for x3 was a "dog". C'mon guys. Prob even quicker than that.
