I have to ask. What have you heard?
I've never heard anything negative. Of course the clientele is very scarce too.

There's a new dealer in Houston opening Friday, supposedly. Maybe they will be better. |

That's strange hearing that about the Dallas store and I'd bet Ken Shnitzer would want to know about it if non-policy pricing was being quoted. If someone wanted a car towed for free and it's not policy then... I think he runs a pretty tight operation.

In my opinion, if your brand new million dollar car breaks down you don't quibble over policy. You just take care of it. Especially when you're just getting started selling cars to the public and public perception already isn't the best. |

The car business is a bugger to begin with and it's impossible to please everyone all the time. Gimme 570s lol.

I think the number of dealerships is one of the problems McLaren has. I think roughly 20 dealership's in the U.S. so most of the country will buy something else just based on the hassle. Someone living in Cincinnati (where I live) will have to deal with the nearest dealership in Chicago (5 1/2 hours). A $200k car doesn't mean you have staff to deal with issues and shipping it to the dealership will have many swayed to Porsche, Audi and others. Then even big city customers are dealing with one dealership that may not be good or anywhere close to them. At the $1 million dollar car level I don't think the owners care nearly as much.

McLaren Houston opens Friday??
Sah-weet! I'm going to go bug them lol. Luckily in the Houston area we have dealerships to cover pretty much anything, and I think the McLaren customer base will only expand once this place opens. I'm sure they are working on expansion in the US for service issues as stated above which is good for everyone.

Don't get all the hype for this car. It isn't that great looking, has a bug eyed look. The rear is a mess. Looking at the test results, it's performance isn't overly impressive. I guess the poor-mans McLaren look is enticing to some. To be honest it looks like one of those fake Chinese knock-off cars.

Winning?? It's 2 seconds slower than a Huracan at Willow Springs, not close to it in sound either

I think the poor man's McLaren is probably pretty sweet. if I were in the market for a $200k-ish tou, I'd definitely be test driving one.... but there sure as heck is a lot of great competition in that range too.... GT3 and money left over would be my wife's choice lol. she does seriously dislike the 570S so I'd have a tough time clearing it with her.

Sorry, but if I had a GT3 I would not complain one bit.
Harsh ride? don't care No cargo space? don't care The beauty alone would make all the negatives worth it. sO yes, it was a reference to that guy |

As for the 570S I think the design looks way more cohesive than the 650S. The 650S was a nose job and the rear doesn't match the front, at least on the 570S it matches. It does seem expensive, though. I wonder how quickly the used values on these will plummet like on the 12C. |
