Too many enthusiast think badly of manufacturers going down the SUV route.

The fact is, SUVs are a huge thing for every car manufacturer that aren't Tesla and without a strong SUV lineup, you are basically shooting yourself in the foot.

Porsche, by far, has every right to make SUVs because they make them the best. Recently drove the X3M like many who attended the M Town events in SoCal. I was a bit unimpressed and I think I might be one of the few to have that feeling. Pretty sure it is because I drive a Macan S more or less as a daily and the X3M just doesn't feel as engaging of an SUV in comparison. The only thing the X3M does better is in the infotainment aspect and the S58 is a smooth engine but I felt some slight turbo lag.

I know the PDK in the Macan is lifted from an Audi DSG and shared chassis with the Q5. Personally not sure how much is taken from VW directly but Porsche takes from Audi definitely.
