Almost forgot.

My Mclaren sales told me McLaren has planned to open an extra 20 dealerships in China. All 20 has already paid their franchise fee but most of them don't even have a location planned yet. This is in addition to the existing 4.

Those existing 4 dealerships sold 37 P1s. Out of about 120 allocated to Asia. North American also sold 120 cars. Most of those 37 are sold to people who were refused a LaFerrari, so they bough the next most expensive car. Same thing happened to 1 of the 2 local P1, he didn't get a LaFerrari allocation and that pissed him off and he went for the P1. As a matter of fact our local Ferrari dealership didn't get a single allocation from the 499.

Seems like McLaren has identified China as the place for them to expand and focus or milk. All of North America combined only has 15 dealerships, 13 in USA and 2 in Canada. why would China needs 24? Unless of course McLaren is only interested in pocketing the franchise fee to boost their bottom line.
