    That is a shame indeed--they screwed that up. Did you stay in touch on regular basis?

    But I have a feeling any brand will give a 'celebrity' a car before a non-celebrity. Hey Kylie Jenner is a great example from what I hear as Ferrari VIP o_O

    Sure you can. Every single car, limited or not is available on the secondary market. You may not get the newest Ferrari immediately but wait a few months- they are readily available. And personally Im in no rush. Ive got plenty of toys. A few months isn't going to kill me if I really want the car and cant get an initial allocation.

    and the pissing match begins. Some people arent capable of just having a rational conversation about the pros and cons of all the brands instead resorting to my brand is better than your brand.

    Last I checked, neither Ferrari, Mclaren, Porsche, Lambo etc etc is sending me a check and I have zero allegiance to any one brand. There are pros and cons to all and I equally enjoy and loathe various practices of each marque.

    Why are you trying to turn this into a Mclaren vs Ferrari argument as if I care. How many times can it be said that there are those of us that are fans of both companies. I want Ferrari to do well and I want Mac to do well and whichever one happens to be doing best at the the time Im ready to buy a car will get my business. So whether Mclaren has seen it or not would be a question that you should post to Mclaren and try to have a nonemotional conversation here.

    I'm sure some people fall through the cracks. I know of at least one Senna owner who owned just a 570, 650, and 720S. So regular, good customers are definitely getting cars. In the case of Schmee, he's a good customer and brings a ton of positive publicity to the brand. He's a good choice for a client IMO.

    Like all exotic brands, just spend a bunch of money on something and you'll move right up the list. Buy a P1 or Senna secondhand, maybe spend some money on MSO.

    Since the total production of P1 GTR plus F1 Is less than 1/3 of the Senna production (164 vs 500), they weren't very good liars! But I guess you knew that.

    And you complain Mac has 'too much'.

    Good news Mac has plenty coming as well...so does Lambo.

    Who wins?

    ALL of us (that at least those you peek inside & outside of F car tent).

    I can see why Ferrari has to make the "facelift" car on the 458/488 platform, because the new modular platform hasn't finished development, but I wish they didn't have to.

    Bigger news from my perspective is the upcoming V12 "elegant" 2+2 GT. I'm looking at 612's and FF's currently, and love the 612's looks, but it's getting to be an old car. While the FF's are very modern, but... not really beautiful to my taste. I will be interested to see what they come up with.

    As I reported earlier, it's going to be a 50s/60s looking "elegant" GT car based on the 812.

    Two seater or 2+2? I've heard of both possibilities.
