It's a proper SUV so it's not as planted as the M3 but the quality feel in everything is unmatched and it's actually quite fun to hustle. The Macan should be closer to a sedan and more nimble. I'm looking forward to driving one. Buying a Porsche hurts when you are used to deep BMW discounts and relative cheap factory options/packages but you really do get value for your money if you go easy on the options.
What I'm really waiting for is the upcoming new Porsche sedan that will slot in below the Panamera. That should be the answer to the prayers of those of us a bit dispapointed in the F-series BMWs.

I'm in the same boat. From what I hear, the Macan will be a full 375lbs lighter than the Q5. That'll pull it into almost E90 M3 weight, maybe less than the E93 M3.
