July / August 2014 22 SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT By Stan Thorne Aristocrat does it again. They always seem to deliv- er, be it with the finest cars in the world, customer ser- vice, or in this case, a launch party. An Aristocrat launch party is not to be missed. Robert Hellweg and Dan Shearman truly know how to make you feel welcome. The Macan launch party was no exception. A nice selection of food and drinks set the tone for this gala, not to mention the star of the show the new Ma- can. A truely stunning SUV. Porsche got the Macan right. Its big brother the Cayanne has gone through several facelifts to get the right sports car / SUV look. The Macan, learning from big brother, hits a homerun with it's stance, interior lay- out, headlight and tail light cues. Dan welcomed the crowd of Porsche fans, lay- ing out Porsche's vision of the Macan and its impact on the sport SUV market seg- ment. He went on to mention a special offer where you get to drive a Boxster while waiting for your Mecan to be delivered. (Check with Dan for details) But, how do you say no to that?!?! It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet somenew ones. That's what I love about Porsche and the KCRPCA club. We can always have a singular pas- sion of cars, and yet we can meet perfert strangers and they feel like family. Aristocrat, thank you. Thank you for a perfect family reuion, and introduc- ing us to the newest family member, the Mecan. - Stan Bringing the A-Game by ARISTOCRAT
