The first Mclaren is not exactly very bold either if you come to think about it.

Kind of like it. But I'd have to explain that she's NOT a Ferrari ans she's NOT a Lambo.

I know it's not a Ferrari or Lamborghini, it will never be like them..But look at the McLaren F1 ! it was cool and very speciel in it's own way. But maybe one day i will like the new car :-)

Subzero for me. As for the F1, it seems a bit discreet compare to other flamboyant italians but it grows on me more and more !

I'm going to say cool because how can 600 horsepower not be cool in such a light modern car (relatively speaking compared to its competitors).

The looks are seriously uncool though; too generic and bulbous.

The car sperformance cannot make up for the bland looks.

It looks too bland and doesn't have the sense of occasion about it that the F1 did. It's going to be quick and probably a great car, but it just doesn't seem special enough.

Do you want to bet?

I think this car is going to be the benchmark.

I like it's looks, I like more it's carbon construction, it's specific output, it's technology.

Mark my words; this will be the class leader. 458 Italia? Near miss.

$100 says not a chance. :)

You saying this car i sgoing to be a 255mph, 0-62mph in 2s, 9s 1/4 mile 1.2G grip inducing car off the show room floor?

This car is a pathetic attempt by McLaren to rekindle the long lost glory days - too little car, too late tothe market. ;)

Yeah, what ever, and I cannot understand all this talk of g force, it depends on too many vaiables to really describe a car's handling. How wide is the circle? How fast. It's about changing direction as well as holding a line.

And I'll bet you 100 sterlings

That is the most creative repackage of the hp/l argument I have ever seen.

McLaren's never had world leading handling (street cars). Not in the F1, not in the SLR's. Not even close.
