I certainly wouldn't classify myself as a hater but I personally don't think it's a step forward in the looks department, looks much blander to my eye but each to their own. I will mourn the loss of the supercharger, on audible if not economic grounds. I'm not sure where I stand on the roll-bars yet - I actually like them with the top down but they do seriously hamper the rear view with the top up - so every silver cloud etc.

Realistically I will definitely be having the R57 as my next car - I'm just not sure I'm excited about it! Which is a real shame.
