Yeah, good aftermarket warranty is a must. They liked to fail right after the manufacturer warranty expired. As for the difference, you can make the same hardware feel different with different software, and that's what VW group did. They are really good at making sure their brands don't cannibalize sales from each other. But the macan is built on the bones of Q5 no matter how you spin it.
As for whether there's no substitute for Porsches, I somewhat agree but only for their mid engine cars. For the SUVs built to cash out on the badge's value using front engine platforms developed by other VW group entity, maybe not so much.
