Re: P15/Senna -- Yuck
noone1:How again did your friend take it up the ass by buying a 650S before the 675 was announced? Did he once again fail to use common sense and realize that there would be a track day special just like every other car on the planet?
?? Where is your argument logic again? Or are you just arguing for argument sake?
Do you even remotely remember the transition time from 12C-650-675?
They first did the 12C. then the P1, and swapped the 12C's front end to turn it into a 650 after 18months or so.
Now come the 650S Spyder. (He bought that)
They then announced the 675LT, which they announced there will only be 500 copies, which he put down a deposit right away.
Those are gone quick, and right away after they announced the 675LT Spyder. Another 500 cars. He thought he was screwed then as he wasn't informed there will be a Spyder version coming. But he swapped allocation to get a Spyder instead.
Now comes the 570S, he loved it so he ordered one too. Happy as a clam.
Then the 720S was announced, he also got one of the first cars, well after mine but I sold my allocation and didn't take a car. Also happy with his.
Now the comes the Senna. He had sneak peaks and infos beforehand, he liked and ordered right away. He was told in person BY McLaren Woking there won't be a GTR version like with the P1. He trusted them. This is McLaren Woking, not Mclaren Canada. He was plain lied to by HQ. Now this is what got him pissed. He was there with a P1 owner too, so 2 people got lied to with a straight face. The P1 owner didn't order the Senna though.
This is the issue on hand. McLaren HQ LIED to a customer with a straight face. A very good customer no less. Plus also a P1 owner too.
This will NEVER happen with Ferrari to their customers, nor Porsche with theirs. Nor Lamborghini. These guys will deflect the question and not answer, but will never ever lie to a customer like that. Plain and simple.
With my purchase history and as a 918 VIP, if I ask Porsche about future of a car or what's coming next, they will not lie to me, at worse I get is they would say they can't talk about it yet, but would comfort me by saying don't wait, or I will be pleasantly surprised by waiting.
