So Jonathan, are we all being moved to autotrader or is autos.ca going to stick around?


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

No, I don't think so, just want the answer to be out there.  And who knows what the format will look like in future, could be more social media based as that's how the younger crowd are doing it.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Ditto that.

I did see on FB that Jonathan went to Auto Guide
SirAqua i believe is now out west & works for GM

Doesn't make sense to me either why Auto Trader group would have two separate auto related sites, but i'm not in Marketing (thank god)

Interesting. Looks like where ever Mike Schlee leaves someone on Autos.ca moves into his old spot. Incestuous bunch. :-D
