9. I'm not at all an SUV/crossover person and the MB changed my mind.

It's been that good. Have wanted a Boxster or a Cayman forever, but I could definitely do a Macan now. Most of the fun, way more practical.

When we were shopping for the MB and still hadn't decided on it, one dealer had a used Macan Turbo. It was about $10k more than we were looking to spend, plus it was used vs. the new MB. We didn't drive it because I knew I'd somehow justify the extra $10k if we did.

"She was talking about getting a Bronco or Santa Cruz and I was facepalming."

Bronco love was a thing here (near Austin, TX) when it first came out, but seemed to fade pretty quickly. I think expectations met reality, for the most part. That was also the peak of the pandemic when all car stuff was nuts.
