Angry WTF have they done at the Autotrader website?

I normally go on the Autotrader website quite often, looking for cars, insurance quotes or the rather handy technical data on most cars. Clicked on the other day to a blinged up new version. It took ages to load and is fairly hard to read and basically far worse then the old version it's replaced.

Is there a classic version of Autotrader like on Scoobynet (I'm on classic here )

Hmmm, my thoughts as well, not as good, quick or easy to use...

Seems pretty similar to the last version and at least for me it was easier to refine the search!

I've just been swearing at it a lot, but it'll be like everything else new. Remember when Scoobynet changed its format? You just get used to it after a while.

I actually find the new design a lot quicker. No problems here (running firefox).

It's almost identical to the old site, just a bit more garish

But remember Daily Mail readers cannot cope with change that comes at anything less than a geological pace - earthquakes notwithstanding!

Most of them still reminisce about living on Pangea!
