Website has the S and Turbo models confused. Turbo has rectangular tail pipes and red calipers.

Man I really hope porsche or an aftermarket company will make a more aggressive spoiler, like the one of the cayenne gts or turbo. I think that would make the roofline better.

why one model has licence plate in the hatch and the other one in the bumper?

I saw a Macan test mule on Hollywood Blvd (Los Angeles) on Friday. It's a striking mini-suv with unique curves. I think I'm obsessed with this thing.

Is it just me, or will it have a top-half flipping hood, a la 918? There's that pronounced horizontal panel gap behind the front wheels and the traditional hood line looks like a pinstripe graphic--too thin and too perfect, and no hood-fender gap appears at the lower A-pillar or separating the fender from the front bumper spanning the headlight and hood...

If the whole half upper half folds, unlike anything in the current Porsche lineup.. I do just have to say: I REALLY like it.

I seems kind of stupid for Porsche to design 2 different hatchbacks to allow for a towing hitch.

Does this picture help? It's the size of a Q5 (Chassis is shared with the Q5).

Not sure about those dark rocker panels, but can't wait to see it in the flesh. Thanks for sharing.
