An old adage says that the way the rich stay rich is by not spending money. If you are one of the lucky folks who parted with some of your cash to buy or lease a Porsche sometime between 2007 and 2016 with a certain interior color, a class action suit might net you some money from the iconic sportscar maker.

Consider, then, the exception that is the new-for-2017 base model Porsche Macan, the entry-level follow-up to the outstanding Macan S, GTS, and Macan Turbo trio that have dazzled since first introduced a mere two years ago. Now equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder motor in place of the turbo six found in its siblings, the most affordable Macan makes a clear trade: scintillating performance for mass market appeal.
