I would wait for the Macan for sure. If the Macan can replicate the overall responsiveness, brilliant steering and phenomenal ride/handling balance of the Cayenne in a smaller more dynamic package, it will be a real winner.
I used to be a big Audi fan, but after owning a Porsche and an M3, the Audis just don't cut it, R8 notwithstanding.

I did read that the US SQ5 has the standard Q5 Springs, which brings it 30mm higher than the Euro SQ5. Have been reading the underwhelming impression in the corners with the US suspension setup. Something easily remedied as KW already has replacement lowering springs/sleeves.
