Just teasing you on your spelling, I'm not really sure what a macan is, nor why I'd want something named after it.

As for the Macan, isn't it just a dressed up Q5? The Q5 seems like a competitor to the X3, so doesn't it stand to reason that the Macan will also compete more directly with the X3 than the X1? Meaning it will be heavier, larger and thirstier than the X1?

I will say that the 2013 Q5 finally ditching that lame, old 3.2L for the 3.0L supercharged motor makes it much, much more appealing when I compare it to the X3, but there's a large part of me that still prefers the smaller size of the X1 to either the X3 or Q5, and by association, the Macan.
