They're very similar rides obviously, but the Audi lacks several refinements I've grown to love in my P-cars. So when I was able to sell the Audi for essentially what I paid for it, I had to let it go.

For a break down of what I like in the Macan:
Power Delivery is quicker and much smoother
Turbo vs. Supercharger - I prefer the turbos myself
Exhaust note, much more aggressive at partial and WOT.
Interior, simply put...the Porsche does it better. Rightfully so with the additional stick price though.

Here's the replacement.

Would love to buy the wheels, but it isn't in the cards right now. Bummer.

Jesse, thanks for the sale, the wheels/tires are great. I think I might try a bit smaller spacers to tuck them in just a bit. I tried the 8mm on the rear and everything clears, now I just need to borrow some 5mm to make sure I can clear the suspension.
