Whenever I see a Macan out on the open road, I much prefer the Gen I. I just love that original Gen I Macan rear end!

Having had a gen3, I always thought Gen1 looked better somehow. It needed to be Gen1 turbo on outside and Gen2 on inside for me

Having owner all of these my least fav is the middle one (owned one of them and didn’t like the plastic bumper bits. The bottom one is my 2nd face but don’t like the “border” lookDJMCUK wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 2:22 pm When we went last week to take a 2nd look at my wife's "new" Gen 2 Macan S (middle photo below) it was parked right next to a Gen 3 GTS in the showroom.
We both commented that the painted Gen 2 S front end (middle photo) looked far better than the black plastic Gen 3 GTS front end (top photo).
I see even the Gen 3 S front end (bottom photo) has the new black "mouth" around the whole of the front, but the painted centre does still lift it over the Gen 3 GTS... in my opinion.
I really cannot see how anyone taking an impartial view could say the Gen 3 is the nicest? It just... isn't!...
Have owned the gen 3 GTS and loved the look and the front, so much so I’m buying it again lol
Just goes to show you that everyone has different taste.
The did like the gen 1 and gen 2 macans with the sports design kit though.
Of those three I think the GTS looks the best! Looks cleaner, even if it is plastic.
I would have liked them to integrate some painted trim better I guess, but of those three there I think the GTS is miles ahead of the Gen 1. The Gen 2 is closer, but I still prefer the blacked out look.

I changed mine to look like this as I don’t particularly like any of those three…
Best of a bad job for me, don’t think the gen3 looks great at the front in any flavour

I don't give a monkey's what the front looks like. I bought it (them) for how it goes and feels from the drivers seat, all the waffle gets a bit tedious, frankly!
