I was reading Dan Neil's article on the new Targa 4S. What really made me laugh was the comments by Peter Tablan at the end of the article. Priceless!

Maybe he refused to remodel, lost his Porsche dealership and now only has Audis to sell?

Definitely epic trolling. A bit of a masterclass in it, really.

Everything I read by Dan Neil makes me feel like I have a brain tumour. I understand the words but can't make head or tail of what he's actually trying to say.

I actually dig his style. He does plenty of Porsche reviews in WSJ. Somewhat refreshing after reading all of the other articles in the paper that day.

Why would anyone buy a Porsche. It's the exact same thing as a VW

That's it - I'm sold. Anyone want to swap their 2017 shazamarama Audi S4 for my overpriced 2016 911 GTS cab? What a fool I was to buy it when I could have had an Audi for so much less!

Interesting. His style is certainly different from most auto journalists'. It just feels to me rather flamboyant without with being funnier or more informative for it. My view is that form should facilitate and come second to content, and with him (and to be fair to him I haven't read that much of him) that so far doesn't seem to be the case.

I traded a 2013 S4 for my Cayman S - pretty much the exact same car
