I currently own a Ferrari California and am thinking ahead to get a mid engine aggressive supercar after my GT experience. The California is a comfortable cruiser but I would definitely want a mid engine supercar as my next. Currently, the queue for 458 is into 2013. It is the first to come to mind. However, I am also thinking about the MP4-12c in 2013. A very tough call.
The Pros: Exclusivity, McLaren's Legacy, Superb engineering
The Cons: Less proven in reliability, dihedral doors making parking a bit more of a hassle
I am warming up a bit to McLaren's look... just not sure about the colour that it can wear to look good in. I am thinking white... while McLaren Orange is good, I do want it to be more subtle as well as usable (maybe grey or silver...)
Mcl wins for me on the following:
Exclusivity
Engineering
Exotic
Look
Wow factor
Techno aspects
My biggest concern truly is this... I have seen the real car but not driven a demo and the doors are very very special. The SLS has very good doors even in tight parking space but I think the dihedral doors present a real challenge with there are cars beside me. Is this a valid concern ? The good thing about a California and a 458 is that they are both usable even in real life situation and even driving to work. I worry the dihedral doors being a real hindrance.
By 2013, the 458 is in its 3rd year of cycle so in terms of timing, it is not best... can someone shed lights on my dilemma especially about doors on MP4-12C?
