[MacanMan]

Before the name "Macan" went official for Porsche's new small SUV, "Cajun" was it's codename which in my opinion sounded pretty cool, almost just as good as Macan sounds.

Did Porsche do the right thing by calling it the Macan or should they have stayed with Cajun? Vote on the poll above and comment below.

Macan all the way, cajun reminds me too much of food and macan just has a nice meaning to it that suits a compact porsche suv. see more on the name in this thread... http://www.macanforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50 you'll see what the name means.

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

Pretty cool name and it's whole definition suits the SUV it's for, good job on Porsche part.

 

[Cajun]

I actually like the Cajun name. It made sense since it's big brother is called the Cayenne. Both are spices. I had no idea what a Macan is until now. Most people don't know.

same here i thought cajun was an awesome name but I guess Macan did a better job at representing what it's about.
