OP, I think you mean "bye".
Yeah the new layout sucks and I don't know what they're thinking. It's not just the layout it's that now they're promoting car shopping and stuff way more. Even their images are slow to load. At first I thought they were doing some 8-bit joke or something as the image links for the articles looked like 8 bit renditions but then after several seconds changed into normal images. I'd already mostly been using them for just "first drive" articles (that present info and kinda give a general idea about different things) and the pics and for news.
Carscoops is a decent replacement for the news and images part (for a while Autoblog seemed to betting most of their news pieces from Carscoop or at least citing them). I had stopped checking them for a while since they had a site change at some point and I couldn't get it to function well even enabling scripts. I just checked and their layout is ok. Not sure about the writing (which that was often pretty bad on Autoblog), and I don't think they have reviews so if you were checking Autoblog for that then won't be able to replace it. But I think other sites already did a better job for that.
