The Macan is quite good.

For instance I bought my mother a mid-sized sedan a couple of years ago. She wanted a Mini Cooper and while it's a great nimble car, there are far too many accidents occurring in her neighbohrhood, one intersection doesn't have a light and its always littered with broken talights and glass from one accident after another. These tall SUVs block the sightline in trying to traverse these intersections. And a little further away is a stretch of road that is far too long and should at least have rumble srips or a speed bump as people are constantly going 20 mph over the limit in a residential area. Two elderly women were run over and reportedly knocked 30 feet into a driveway where they died.
A small car crossing into that kind of oncoming traffic, half of which are these these large SUV's, is basically toast at 6+mph speeds.

Cfos, you've apologized for ridiculing New Jersey by praising Bon Jovi instead of Springsteen? I've been in NJ all of my life and don't know a single person who has ever purchased any music from Bon Jovi since 1988.
I think it's mostly people from outside of NJ...who had big hair in 1988 and like to reminisce.

Sorry, for the time lapse -- my Wife wanted me to purchase feminine hygiene products and I had to go out.


Anyway, I do like Bruce and think it is great that his son, of all things, has dedicated himself to be a fireman. And so what if i like Bon Jovi? I never had big hair, and didn't recall that being a factor in liking a song. Of course, using the same thoughts, one could say that people here modify their cars cosmetically with bumpers and such... Right? By your analogy (liking Bon Jovi and big hair) makes these people "ricers" right? Unless, your bumper added, what 5 hp? or will you please correct me again, using some historical or racing significance to make the difference between some people and ricers?
