later in the year as well. 

Porsche has not done a very good job keeping the Macan under wraps, and we have written about it testing in Europe twice. Now, it seems that the production version of the truck will launch in the third quarter of the year, likely around October.

Powerplants for the Macan have still not been publically confirmed. It seems likely that Porsche will borrow some engines from its new parent VW.

The Panamera will also get a facelift later this year, likely at the Shanghai Motor Show in April. The new look revises the headlight design and front bumper, and the rear end will get new lights and the rear bumper will be slightly flatter to give the car a more cut off look.
