Wierd name, the "Macan"

 

better than "Cajun" Pepper!

 

"Cajun" would relate better to "Cayenne," as both are name of peppers. But Macan is just wondering off to a completely different naming scheme, not to mention it being foreign language. So are they going to name all future cars based on animal names, kinda like Mac OS?

 

 

So it's a minivan...?

 

lol, no, a Mini Cayenne!

 

Ha no, I was just referring to the last 20 seconds of the video where the mom is driving the kids around... But I can't talk I have a Nintendo 3DS and baby toys rolling around in the back seat of my Cayenne...

 

haha, great. hey, kids need entertainment. good daddy!

 

As soon as I heard the name announced I couldn't help but think of this.

 

Nice, that'll be commuter when I finish fellowship!

 

It is pronounced Machan, Macan means food in Indonesian lol.

 

Could peeps at Porsche be a bunch of Apple fan boys?

 

Macan does seem to be a weird name...

 

Although, I don't necessarily mind the introduction of a baby Cayenne. It will definitely saturate the Porsche community, mostly with SUVs, which may or may not be a good thing. However, with the Macan, the Cayenne is now the "big boy" and not that "SUV that the mother didn't want" which is how many "Porsche Enthusiasts" saw us.

 

All about $.

I've yet to come across an SUV that feels better than Cayenne. Maybe I am just biased.
