    Porsche's new Macan crossover will be using the platform from the Audi Q5 and Porsche is saying the Macan will not be a Q5 in Porsche clothing.

    “Everything has been modified. Engines, transmissions, suspension — it’s all new. Audi can’t believe what we’ve done,” said Porsche’s R&D chief, Wolfgang Hatz.

    Hatz went onto say that the Macan will be the first Porsche in a long time to have a four-cylinder.

    “Not from the beginning, but in the medium to longterm, for sure,” he said.

    Why do I get the Feeling that the comment: “Not from the beginning, but in the medium to longterm, for sure,” he said.

    Really means that it will be a rebadge to a point at first as they work to change it all. They want to get this to market so you will see things that are common and in will show up in the Q5 also.

    I doubt they would really re-engineer everything, otherwise you are not really using economy of scale with a platform.

    Course I could be wrong and maybe I am misunderstanding how the platform sharing thing works.

    • @ccap41 I downloaded the image and used Win11 photo editor to rotate the image and save it locally and then uploaded it to here.
    • I am growing two endangered American Chestnuts in buckets in my back yard. I started them from seed last summer.
    • I'm weirdly really excited to have bought a tree. It'll be inside for a couple years, most likely. I'm going to attempt a Giant Sequoia.  I saw the "promo/discount code" box upon checkout and thought I'd Google if there were any available codes. I found one and it was just supposed to be 10% off but it ended up being free, I just have to pay for shipping. I'll take that.  It'll be really small, so I'll start it in a smaller pot inside and move it up as it grows. I don't exactly have a place for it yet, but I'll find somewhere in a couple years.  Here's the link to the website, if anybody else is looking for a tree. Yes, they do have way more than just Sequoias.  https://sequoiatrees.com/  
    • If I rotate the picture to where it is upright on my computer and the icon in the folder, it uploads like this; If I then try and "get ahead" of the 90 degree turn and rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise, it looks like this; Now that I'm looking at these, I wonder if there is a default "landscape" format on the site.   
    • Once you change the rotation, your saving it correct? If you rotate it and then post it, the original image is still being used with it in the wrong rotation. Usually you have to save it as a new image so capture the new rotation change. I agree that it is a pain in the butt when a phone camera does this. Great Job, cleaning the lenses are never easy and you did a great job. I am currently detailing my SS, will post pictures once I am done, but getting it cleaned inside and out, so started yesterday and almost done with the inside, still have the outside waxing to do.
