How long will the new website design last before they either change it or lose all their visitors?

So the content is supposed to be under the ads, and above the row of stupid social media buttons, but how do I get to it?

Good lord. I've already been going to Autoblog less ever since I started following Car and Driver on Facebook....now I'll probably only visit out of muscle memory.

It's not that bad. They are trying to prioritize content, which makes sense. I would give it some time. People always freak out over change.

Nah, I think this shit looks gross. It's unreadable and makes all of the interest stories the same level.

Browsing it on my phone...feels like it's trying to be an app, but within a website. Which is almost always not a good thing.

The old Autoblog website loaded very slowly thanks to all that Flash plugin bullshit.

The new website loads even slower. It's a mess.

And I have a very highspeed Internet connection!

It's like Windows 8 taught them nothing.
