1. I would highly highly recommend seeing a car in person before you make comments about styling etc etc.
2. FYI: MP4 isn't a car. A 12C is a McLaren street car. The MP4 designation is for all Mclaren cars(F1 and street versions). For eg. the 2012 F1 car is called a MP4 - 27. Last years version was a MP4 - 26. The MP4 designation stands for Marlboro + Project 4 Racing(Ron Dennis' team) when they bought McLaren in late 1970's. In the 90's they changed the significance of MP4 to state that it stands for McLaren Project 4 Racing. This was partially due to the racing mandates to abolish tobacco marketing in F1 and also since Marlboro at that time was sponsoring Ferrari F1.

I have not seen one in person. I've only seen one that looked tolerable and it was in white.
I have however seen 458s in person and absolutely love it from every angle, except in Yellow. I don't like them in yellow, but still love the curves.
The Mclaren looks like a childs toy to me. Maybe if I say it inperson id change my mind.

Plus, my jeep would run right over the top of the Mclaren in the event of the zombie apocolypse.

LOL...My criticism doesnt come from a place of experience, only how the car looks compared to other super cars. To me, it looks like a childs toy compared to an Aventador, 458, CGT, etc....It doesnt really have curves or much styling. Id even prefer the new Boxter over the 12c in the looks department. When it comes to performance, its a different story.

Scott,you need to see one in the flesh!It has to be the most un-photogenic car in the history of cars!!The curves are hidden in 2D,for example the doors look flat,when you look down the line of the door it curves in every direction,more so than a 458,you just cant see it in the pictures.
And thats just the doors!
