All people which have seen the car in flash are more then excited about the car. I have to say that the front looks strange but the overall appearance and the technique makes it the best car under 400k for me. I wouldn't think a second and take it over 488 or any Lamborghini.
Because, like me in the past, you are blinded by performance numbers and a certain vibe McLaren cars seem to offer.
You'll get there eventually...give it time.
Your 650S is really looking great, the 720S looks hideous. I usually don't care about designs, I care about the drive feel in combination with a certain performance but the 720S really looks bad.
Right now, I would take a 488 or Huracan Performante in a heartbeat without even thinking over the 720S but luckily, the 720S won't stay alone, many other models/variants will come from McLaren and I am pretty sure that there will be one which also pleases the eye among them.
Btw: I like the 720S interior a lot, minus that odd looking steering wheel and I love McLaren's love for details.

Before buying mine 650 s I had three meetings with sales guy from Ferrari about a 488. Two times with me my complete family. After each visit, either me or in case with the family, we came to the conclusion that a 488 is not the car for me. My family is strong related to sports cars as a consumer and from the other side (). We have visited also my friend who works for Bentley and Lamborghini (Gohm) and we did not spend more then 5 minutes looking at a Huracan. Huracan is the last car I would buy. In any case I would take R8 before Huracan.
So it is not the performance only. Yes, I am a guy who is in love with all the gimmicks. We have talked about this on this forum for hundred times, all cars are great and I mean really great. No matter Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Lamborghini, ... all are great cars. At the end you have to feel it and to be happy with it. This can be with a Mini cooper S or with a Bentley GTC. In my case it is 650 s, Gt3 RS, Panamera and maybe 720 s or sometimes a MB S 63 AMG cabrio or Bentley GTC who knows
