I'm getting the sense that the MP4-12C is essentially the Bugatti Veyron of its price range. Hugely fast and a technical marvel, but not as visceral and exciting drive as it could be.

I certainly see some excitement registering on Jenson's face here:

As would I! That was just an observation I put together from watching Chris Harris' review of the car.

I put in a deposit for this car, but the more I looked at it the less I fell in love with it. The performance figures are great, but I felt that the 458 was a better choice. That's why I took back the deposit and ordered the Prancing Horse.
