So, some chap called James Mills is the first published drive review of the new Macca.

What. The. F**k?!

About 500 words containing virtually no information at all. Is that the only way they could publish it before the supposed 14th Feb embargo - by not actually reviewing it?

I'll wait for Chris Harris and Steve Suttcliffe's reviews tomorrow for some actual information...

I don't think the Sunday Times will be invited on any future car launches. To break the embargo is to break the trust and agreement that exists.

Poor form from their hack imo.

Also as it's behind their 'paywall' most people won't even know it was written, let alone have read it. I don't buy the Times or Sunday Times in print or online since the paywall went up.

And if you are seriously in the market, and you do then go for a proper drive in the 12C, you will be hooked. Instantly. And you’ll never look at the Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini Gallardo in the same light ever again

It’s faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia, has more useable performance, rides better, has more mechanical grip and is much, much more useable.
Read that, it looks like it has blown all competitors out of the water.
