Porsche’s Cajun Will Be A Macan

So they will build the Porsche SUVlet after all. After years of on-again, off-again, Porsche confirmed that the Cajun will be built. Except that it won't be a Cajun. It will be a Macan.

A Macan? Says Porsche in an email:

"The name Macan is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger and combines suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics – core characteristics of the new off-road car."

Porsche Sales Chief Bernhard Maier said:

"The Macan combines all sports car characteristics with the benefits of a SUV and is a genuine Porsche. The name of a new Porsche has to fit with the brand, sound good in very many languages and dialects and evoke positive associations."

I'm sure it does. If you speak Indonesian.

The first Macan will roll off the assembly lines in Leipzig in 2013.
