Yeah, I would agree with terrible. Here's why:
First, it doesn't teach the kid squat about how to work for anything in life. As a 15 year old kid, he gets a boner for a Cayman and PRESTO! Mommy and daddy buy it for him. What's next when he gets sick of that one? Are mommy and daddy going to be there for him his whole life (in this case the answer is probably yes...sadly).
Second, what 15 year old kid do you know that is mature enough to respect and handle a sportscar? I don't know one. They are just asking for this kid to get into trouble with the car.
Will the parents recognize that they had a hand in their son's death if (God forbid) the kid takes it off a cliff taking a corner too fast to impress his 16 year old girlfriend?
Terrible.
