I don't know. Other than the average writing skills I can't fault him too much. The "Biggest Moron Award" is still firmly in the hands of Car and Driver's Tony Swan. Starting with his own dubious writing skills (including overuse of the word "foregoing", an unimaginative rookie device if I ever saw one) and culminating in his unwillingness to praise the Mazdaspeed Protege, he further distances himself from my good graces by writing a glowing review of the Neon SRT-4 this month. I love Car and Driver, always have, but considering how much they love all the other Proteges (MP3, ES, P5) I don't think the Mazdaspeed review should have come off as lukewarm as it did.newf said:
Don't get me started on Tony Swan
Anyhow, made the comment because some of his facts are completely wrong. Matter of fact, most of this guys review was just copy and pasted from the Mazda's page. The only parts he put in are wrong....ie. the mp3 has 130hp? Then theres the complaining about the miata's 6 spd tranny, like its too much work to shift between all the gears....this guy is a "mini van driver" if I've ever seen one.
...and, all turbo's need to be warmed up...duh, and he complains about the tires. HELLO???? Z-rated tires? clue in! this is not an Echo with all seasons!!!
Hee hee.
Just blows my mind. Someone in his position, gets the chance to drive a very sought after car, and this is what he writes? And he calls himself a journalist? My mother could write a more descriptive review. Did he actually "drive" the car, or move it across a parking lot?

This review is worth reading...
