Why no reviews of the 540C?

[EpsomJames]

There are plenty of reviews of the 570S, even the 570GT now but I've seen virtually nothing on the 540C (written or video) apart from the odd brochure type summary.

From what I have been able to read there is a fair bit of difference between the 540C and it's bigger brothers, including difference to suspension and aero so seems strange to see no reviews doesn't it?

The Recombu piece feels like another of these - it is unclear if they have actually driven either car

The Aussie review states that there no discernible difference in performance between the two, albeit in monsoonal conditions.

But why, oh why do motor journalists blatantly ignore the price list when they make model comparisons? The 570S was all blinged up with carbon, posh leather interior and no doubt lots of extras courtesy of McLaren, whereas the 540C had the base poverty-pack interior and no external carbon. However this substantial investment in extras on the 570S (available for both models) was ignored when comparing the two.
