Is The Porsche Macan Big Enough For Everday Practicality?
Our Cayenne is getting a bit "long-in-the-tooth" with nearly 100,000 miles on it and we're thinking of replacing it with a new Macan.  One thing we were concerned about with Porsche's new compact SUV was storage capacity.  Would we still be able to manage our lifestyle in an even smaller SUV?  After sitting in the Macan during the pres preview at the NYIAS I'm no longer concerned.  Neither should you and here's why
