This may be my personal taste but does anyone else think that it's just ugly? I saw one in person the other day and it really looks like a big snail, especially compared to the sleek looking Porsche and BMW SUVs in the same price range.

Are you talking about the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne? I think those are rather hideous vehicles. The designers clearly tried to retain some of the sedan branding and looks in front, just much taller, and weren't sure what to do in the back. Heck, a Chevy Suburban looks better! At least it has a consistent design philosophy!

  BMWs still suffer from Chris Bangle's legacy of flame surfacing. Personally, I think the Macan is a much sharper interpretation than the Cayenne. Tessa's design is blander and doesn't really have a brand specific cue other than that horrendous nose. That large piece of plastic over what would be traditionally the inlet just doesn't do it for me.

    The Macan is one ridiculously good looking vehicle, especially in person. Small SUVs just aren't my type. I'm really looking forward to the 2017 Porsche Panamera, they are finally fixing the butt to make it look amazing, not awkward!

    The Porsche Cayenne has been around for a long time though, and is in need of a refresh. The Macan is sparkling new.

      The Cayenne looks like it is about to surface with a mouthful of krill.

I think they've hit the right note again. When I first saw the model S I thought it was nothing but but an overblown Mondeo. But it's grew on me quickly to the point that it's at the top of my list. There's something understated and smooth about it. It makes sense. I get the same feeling about the model X. It's all a matter of taste, but the Cayenne and the Macan are hideous in my opinion. And I love Porsche.
