Quote "Should I buy one? At this elevated price, the only real rival to the 458 Spider is the soft-top Lamborghini Gallardo, and the Ferrari comprehensively outguns it.
Next year, however, we’re expecting an open-top McLaren MP4-12C and this should provide more competition – although we doubt it will have anything like the visual or aural drama of the Ferrari.
So, for now at least, this is the finest open-top supercar you can buy. Albeit a pricey one. Is it better than the Coupe? Not quite, but we wouldn’t fault you for wanting the Spider’s extra pizzazz. "
the MP4-12C spider has been spied. I like the car and probably still retains the dihedral doors. It is simply a shame how it is simply measured against the prancing horse and I have finally realized that this is rather unfair to MP4. They are just very different. Well, seems like this magazine is passing a judgement before the baby even arrives which is also unfair. With that said, I think branding makes the difference but I see McLaren working very hard to improve its branding and identity.
Read a few very good reviews on the MP4 and been following. It is unfortunate that the project on MP4-12c is delayed indefinitely in Asia and I think McLaren should focus on Euro and US launch to fix all glitches before launching in Asia. The dealer is working on the mess right now no demo no deliverables no cars no response but 60 deposits with 20 refunded...
