Not much of a looker, although I like the interior.

The Trofeo sounds a bit more fun than the base models:

I've been looking and reading several reviews about this in the last week or so and to best honest its grown on me, (The Trofeo) It's got a more modern look than the Mecan a lot more Modern tec etc. I was expecting much more of a face lift of the Gen 3 Macan as it is beginning to look dated, Compare this to the few spy photos of the new Macan coming some similar looks. I'm waiting to read the reviews when properly released as apparently these test drives were in cars that still haven't had their final tweaks, and driven on UK roads with summer tiers. If those's test reviews are any good and my GTS has not locked or arrived I would consider the Trofeo.

Would you get one for similar money to your Macan GTS tho? 🤔

You can shaft Maserati dealers with some good discounts rather than Porsche shafting us with none :lol: I would also have to consider residual values in any calculations also, :D

Funny thing is the interior is the one thing that 99% of reviews rave about and said that is the one thing that could help it sell it :lol: Even Top gear give it the same rating as the Macan score wise, but like I said above want to wait it's arrival and the actual production model and test drive it on summer tiers and on UK roads.

You don't have to shaft them, they'll volunteer huge discounts to shift the things. Dealers are offering 13-14% off Levantes, and that's before the haggling starts!

Not sure about build quality, but 500bhp is very definitely attention grabbing.
