Date: July 16th, 2026 6:05 PM Author: Bespoke bronze dragon No. You might be thinking Audi since a lot of them are the exact same platform. The Q7 and Cayenne are on the same platform, the Macan and Q5 are on the same platform, their EVs are on the same platform and basically the same car with minor differences. But they're also super expensive in the US for the same reason (factories are in Germany).
Basically, if you're American and want a German car then BMW is the obvious answer. |

Others will lose a smaller percentage to depreciation but will cost significantly more to operate for similar performance. E.g. a Cayenne might lose 45-48% of value after 5 years while an X5 loses 50-54%, but the X5 will be much cheaper to operate on a dollar basis because the Cayenne costs so much more when new. |

Date: July 16th, 2026 6:35 PM Author: adventurous spot legend As others have pointed out, Porsche builds for sporting experience first in every product they release. And something like the 911 is a pure sports car built on a dedicated sports car platform, whereas even BMW’s sports cars are built on top of a base mainline product platform (eg the M3 is still built off of a regular 3 series platform).
Porsches are also far more connected to the road from a driver feel and engagement perspective, whereas BMWs have become extremely numb. Sure, many BMWs are fast, but you feel nothing driving them.
Strangely enough, the most engaging driver’s cars today primarily come from Porsche or Japan. |

|
Date: July 16th, 2026 6:41 PM Author: adventurous spot legend Hard to really put into words, but you don’t need an expensive car even to understand this. Generally it feels like you can “feel” what the car is doing and where it has grip going into and coming out of corners. If it has a manual transmission, the shifter is engaging and the clutch point is clear. The steering should give real feedback based on the road and not just feel like a sim rig or totally fake.
IMO the most engaging cars also are fun to drive without needing to go 90+ mph. |

Date: July 16th, 2026 11:04 PM Author: Massive Clear Love Of Her Life Mad-dog Skullcap Yeah a lot of old japanese cars were fun because they were RWD and had good manual transmissions.
The answer to OP's question is that some Porsches put the engine in the ass-end and give you RWD plus a stick shift. That's an engineering feat no other company will attempt. The Porsches with the engine in the front are a different story. |
|
Date: July 16th, 2026 11:53 PM Author: Bespoke bronze dragon Actually a bunch of them were FWD and still super fun - like the old Acura Integras. What made them fun was not that it was RWD vs FWD (many American alternatives were RWD) but that these cars were very light and the high revving Japanese engines made them far more agile/nimble than American cars of that era.

Porsche has gotten farther away from the driving experience than BMW with their failed EV production and 4-door sedans beating 911 specs now on paper
M3 (and 2 and 4, 5 and 8 for that matter) all handle better than a basic 911
BMW had more manual stick shift options
And M cars have higher ADM by % than 911s last time I checked and the waiting list for an M3/M4 allocation was worse than a Rolex
Other than that I mostly agree with you |

Date: July 16th, 2026 10:35 PM Author: Bespoke bronze dragon Yeah, to the extent they think about cars it is either a nice car or it is not.
