Mclaren 570 cabriolet is coming in 2017

I wish I had a dollar for every time I went to look at a McLaren. I can't get past the smiley face, lack of nearby service facilities and depreciation issues.Smiley

This would be my biggest concern. One reason I will not get another US car anymore because most US car dealers and repair shops (maintenance) in Germany suck and the good ones are always at least 80-300(!) km (both ways) away.

Porsche...BMW...Audi...Mercedes...even if I wouldn't be happy with a dealer, I would always find a good one in a 60 km radius. Since I have very little time to drive around, nearby service facilities have become a key factor for my car choices.

Another important thing: When I am on vacation and something goes wrong. Just imagine you are in beautiful Italy and your McLaren has an issue. In Italy, there is only one McLaren dealer in Milano. In Austria, there is only one in Vienna. One dealer for a whole country!!! Smiley

France? Only a dealer in Paris. Ridiculous. Sorry but not really something I would like to risk.

In Germany, there are surprisingly more dealers...five (Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg, which would be somewhat acceptable).
