What happened to the auto.ca review/articles?
« on: February 02, 2019, 10:15:18 pm »
Haven't really been around much since canadiandriver.com  days.....

Why are the reviews on autos.ca stuck in 2017?   Why not mirror or link to  autotrader.ca or otherwise clean it up?

This forum is the only reason autos.ca stays open. They keep it open for us. Otherwise, 'Trader for everything and reviews get posted in the forums as links.

Message the autoTRADER.ca account on here, they will probably be able to give you more answers on what the plans are to point people over to autoTRADER from the autos.ca homepage.

I'm surprised this forum has not been shuttered.

I hope not. I'm naturally on a couple of vehicle and sport specific forums, but this is the only generic forum I subscribe to. Plus, I like the predominantly Canadian content and participation, and I enjoy the regional opinions from many forum members, not to mention, links to regional articles.

As long as Autotrader feels appreciated, they'll keep us alive. But they could move us over to forums.autotrader.ca or something.
