Things should get interesting over the next few years.

Probably the least interesting car in the entire lineup of the feature though. Most interesting? The Nissan IDx and Toyota FT-1. The Land of the Rising Sun is making a comeback!

I am too old for Porsche sedans.
I'll stick to Porsche sports cars and BMW sport sedans. Let the Instagram generation have the Macan and the Panamera. ![]() |

1. They weren't so expensive 2. They had a really high-performance diesel 3. Our Forester didn't work just fine and wasn't still in great condition

Very nice, but I think there is a lot of competition in that market segment already in the U.S. Doubt it will last long here.
