Yes, I ordered one this week for Sept delivery. Had reached the point that my beloved 911 just wasn't practical enough for my current needs. With the Macan I'll not need a second vehicle (currently RAV4), and will hopefully be able to have enough of a fun factor to offset not having a 911.
But if I had a gorgeous 993TT like yours, I'd have to keep it. Came close to buying one of those 4 years ago.

I own an '08 V6 Cayenne and test drove a Macan S yesterday. All I can say is wow. I had pretty high hopes for how it would drive and after 45 minutes on some nice twisty roads in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I was blow away. It's so much tighter than the Cayenne, it was flat through the corners, powerful when pushed and made a great noise when upshifting in Sport Plus. I drove a new Cayenne Platinum immediately after and it felt like a barge in comparison. Congrats to all the new owners!

Are you planning on selling your 911?

Test Drive Macan S

Pros

1. PDK is awesome.
2. Great steering wheel.
3. Love the exhaust pipes.
4. Great interior build quality.
5. Bose system improved.
6. Seats super comfortable.

Cons

1. Felt small up front.
2. I'm 6' tall, and my head was hitting the roof in the back seat.
3. Engine was kind of quite.
4. Not enough room for ski's, would need roof rails.

I really enjoyed the ride, but I really enjoy my Cayenne S.
