    Crazy that it is only going to cost about 250,000US. Unfortunately the doors are a little impractical for daily use... The Robb Report has a nice article on it this month.

    Several on this board have criticized the PZeros. Did you notice this car is shod with them, and in the same widths as the R8?

    Some logic to that pricing, as a competitor to the 458 and Gallardo. I agree it's a lot of car .... I wonder whether the small number of dealers will limit sales.

    It is going to be one quick car, and the Dual Clutch 'box was fantastic, very very quick and smooth

    Beautiful car, but is it just me or do others think the McLaren logo looks cheap and amateurish? (both the lettering and the arc shape).

    Also, those cabin air vents are tiny, doesn't look like it would cope with a decent American, Australian or Middle Eastern summer.

    The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
