nah supercars are all about styling. they are a lifestyle accessory. that's why they look so different to actual race cars.

Nah a supercar is about styling aswell a performance. Would you call a Pontiac Fiero with the F40 body kit a supercar, I think not.

they let Jay Leno film the MTC but not me? WTF????

I wonder what the fact that they are building their own engine has to say about their relationship with Mercedes?

building road car engines is one thing building F1 engines is another.

McLaren P7 - McLaren Mercedes SLR
McLaren P8 - Cancelled when Mercedes thought it cost too much
McLaren P9 - Cancelled when Mercedes thought it cost too much
McLaren P10 - Cancelled when Mercedes thought it cost too much
McLaren P11 - Now called McLaren MP4-12C

Seems to be a Mercedes influence over the last 10 years

youre forgetting Rons influence now he is all about the road car and not just the F1 team like in those previous 10 years!

I think it looks nice, but its kinda bland. I was expecting something crazy and over the top.

Just like alot of car's a pic or video does the car no justice such as when I saw the Ferrari California for the first time upclose and personal.

I love the car and my anticipation of further model's could not be any higher. Kudo's to Ron for the path he has chosen and he is looking quite dapper as alway's and relaxed now .

Merc have launched a new sports car

This points Merc and Mclaren right at each other.

Just looks like a simpler SLR!

This is not even in the same league as the MP4-12c it has the FR layout something which was a negative of SLR McLaren.
