Looks pretty sweet to me, but they'll never top the F1!

I did not say they were 'crap' (pls quote accurately).

However, they do depreciate WAY too much for my tastes (know friends who lost over $100k on 650s in a year) and the reliability is an issue for some.

This 570 spider will be no different.

Porsche GT cars hold their value best. You are a smart man.

Let's see...

12C, 650S, 570S, 540S, 675LT, 620S, 570GT, 720S... and of course all the spider equivalents.

I mean, McLaren makes some pretty awesome cars... but have come out with too many models, based on the same engine, and in too short a period of time. Existing customers won't feel happy... how can they be happy when each new model and/or variant is actually slightly better than the old car? Not to mention horrendous depreciation!

My next car.

I think it'll look great in my garage.

Oh wait, I don't think it'll even fit in my garage.

Nice car, although I prefer the 650 and 720.

I see a few in my neighbourhood... 12C, 650 Spider and 720S in recent weeks.
