    other than maybe some QC issues, isn't the 720 all round better? I haven't driven either.
    No clue. Haven’t driven a 720 either haha.

    I spent a lot of time with the 650S, such a well rounded car. I could daily that thing. Wasn’t much more that I wanted from the 650S, maybe a little sharper turn in response. Had to dig deep to find something more I wanted out of that car haha. Would love to spend some time with a 675LT at some point. Would be hilarious to see what more they improved on.
    I've daily-ed my 650S Spider for over five years now. Car has been brilliant and completely reliable. https://karenable.com/mclaren-650s-s...-daily-driver/ 675LT is more of a weekend car than daily driver. It rides harder, is louder, and sharper all around. If 650S is pretty well polished, 675LT has a much rawer edge.

    Only ever had on QC issue on either of the 720S and it was just a low gas level in the AC. 720S is quicker than the 650S while being more polished all around.

    I don’t think they’ll make it.

    Isn't someone just going to buy them?

    720S would be awesome and it looks amazing. Though I've never thought about the 650S but sounds like it would be a pretty solid daily driver (as much as you can daily a car like that in winter in AB). But @Buster skepticism about the brand and their future has got me double guessing too now.

    Who would buy them?

    I think the used market for them is going to tank horribly and there isn’t going to be a 4000 or even 3000+ new customer base imo. It will be interesting to watch play out anyways. I don’t think $200k 720s’s will be very far away!

    Well, the cars are awesome, so there is justification from a product perspective. I loved the 570s I drove.

    But it's very hard to justify buying a product from a company that has a non-trivial chance of not existing in a few years.

    They are great driving cars for sure. I just don’t think the demand will still be there like there used to be. I don’t know if another would company would value the brand in a deal. It seems every major vehicle manufacture can create a mid-engine twin turbo supercar and apply a MSO type optioning program without forking over the money to McLaren. So I’m not sure what they would buy them for other than servicing them? I dunno.

    In 2018 I was looking at buying a 570GT new as there weren’t any used for sale at the time and the depreciation seemed relatively minimal at the time. Fast forward to today with the increased uncertainty of the brand, I’m sure glad I decided to hold off.

    I think the mclaren brand has significant value. So someone would pick it up just for the nameplate

    The other problem is that I tink the performance brands are going to go electric. We maybe have another generation of ICE for amg and m cars etc.

    Then it's just a design exercise to put some fancy packaging on whatever generic giant ipod battery is available.

    Well this works for me as I wanted to wait a few years before my new exotic/supercar purchase. So by that time hopefully McLaren's future will be plenty clear for me to make an informed decision.

    We know you’re gonna be in a new car by the end of the month bud.

    The Bahrain's have pretty deep pockets.
