Welcome to the New Petrolicious

Why make the comments section more difficult to get to? Why make the site more difficult to navigate in order to look pretty?

Hi guys, nice revamp but two questions: where is the ol’ content gone and where is the search-button?

Cheers

Two things I noticed just now, when I login (FB) and select videos, it doesn’t show the latest vids, the first vid is from sept. Also I can’t workout how to add a favourite, this is from an iPad.

Content makes the site, that’s why I have been here so long, the content is top notch, but I’m still getting used to the new layout and interface, it works but the comments section seems a bit disconnected, but hey ho, sure I’ll come around eventually, I like old things so it takes me a bit of time 😉

You content is top notch and keeps me coming back every week and often in between. Please continue to make the old content available. Five pages of videos is good but all of them would be a lot better.

I loved you old site. Biggest problem so far is having to click 4 times to start a video.

Great stuff fellas!

Some great stories in there.
Thanks for putting it all together for the world to enjoy.
I love Petrolicious….

Hey guys.
You know I love what you do and I’m really trying to like this. I’m sure I’ll keep coming back, but the new stuff leaves me cold so far. Maybe it’s the white, or the logging in, or the new categories, and I definitely miss the old, simple petrolicious intro to the videos. I just don’t find myself looking forward to it like I used to. Like an old bud that’s gotten a little too cool or a GTV with new 18″ rims.

Not a real fan of this new website design.Hopefully it will be refined or change in the coming months.
Still love Petrolicious.No other website comes close.

The new site is great.. the old site was also great ..
We’re all here to quench out thirst for the delicious content Afshin and his crew provide…
and for that- we’re all grateful…

Simplicity is the new complexity…well played…now then, about that search button??!?!?!?!

I like the design but it does not seem to run very well on an iPad, very “clunky” and not smooth at all. I’m going to hold judgement until some of the bugs have been worked out.

Congratulations for this incredible new petrolicious! Cheers from Argentina!

Congratulations on the new site guys. The past years you delivered a through classic car experience and you’re clearly continuing that wonderful path. Great job.

I come for the cars and the articles. If they’re here, I’m here.

Hi,
I really like the changes. However, there seems to be one annoying issue (at least for me). The site does not remember my login/auto login. So far not really a problem. But now I get a pop-up asking me to login every time I load an article…
Would be nice to fix/change either the auto-login or the pop-up

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Love it!

New look is good and compact, but what’s with the animated ads? Are we not designing tastefully any more?

Congratulations with your new look. I love it. I’ll think that a printed “Petrolicious Magazine” next to the website would be a great idea.

Afshin. Still getting used to this. After Latest comes Featured, which in this case is the amazing Alfa garage. Then comes your amazing film section followed by most popular. Is that most popular over any specific period of time? I must admit the white makes everything pop, but a little warmth was lost. I’ll keep at it as this is one of my two favorite daily sites, and no one does film like you do.

I like it so far. Is the number next to the little eye the tally of views? Why are videos over the last year so much lower on total views? It seems they dropped off drastically at some point.

Not so much a comment on the updated website (I’ll have to have a proper play with it before I have anything useful to say..), but with the naming of the film series to “man and machine”…
Are you aware this is the name of a TV show in Australia, that also happens to be about people and their cars? Its just such a specific name.. that is (according to google at least) already in use for something so similar…

I despise having to log in to view a website for entertainment or research, which are the two reasons I do log in to Petrolicious. So far so bad, but I have not really used the new site yet. That said, I will never use Petrolicious on anything smaller than a large laptop, so please do not reduce the resolution of any graphic image.

I may be in the minority here, and admittedly have not spent too much time using the new-look product, but I’m lost. I’ll keep trying since I think you guys have an amazing site, but so far it’s a clear thumbs-down.

very clean-good looks guys

I never liked the beige. While it may have added “character”, the white looks cleaner and makes the photos pop much more on the page. Perhaps adding something in the margins like a greyed out old car sketch that’s static but changes each time you load a different page would be cool when viewing on the desktop.

This is much more fluid and easy with cell phone than before. For now I do regret the graphics, I found the old version more refined and attractive in this particular point. But for the reading it is far better!!
What it misses too is the possibility to re-edit a post once sent if we want to correct it. For those whose english is not the first language that may be useful.

Thanks and keep this spirit!!

Petrolicious is by far the best website I have ever encountered, Keep up the great job !!!!

…what’s going on with the avatar image? I uploaded one, sometimes it appears, sometimes doesn’t … weird …

oh guys for sure Petrolicious needed a refresher ! so far it’s looking pretty smooth and fast, I still haven’t tried the search and the new menus. What are you going to sell in the shop? 🙂

Missing are the search bar and the ability to bookmark articles while inside the article.

I love the new site!
Since I discovered the site a long time ago, it’s been one of the best feeds on my daily read. Every article and video is wonderful and different than other sites that only cover industry news and supercars exclusively.

I love the redesign and the beautiful image treatment and overall look.
I view the site through Feedly (an xml feed aggregate that I highly recommend) and I would like to see the same bold image and design be on my feed. Currently it shows a small thumbnail and one line of text. I still click because I know the content is amazing.

Sorry for the long post.

Well done!

This looks perfect !

But there is a problem with the homepage. I can not open the Homepage since I have logged in 🙁

I think one of the things I like about old cars…is that they don’t change…
I am not really so interested in new cars, I like stopping time with the older cars.
We often hear that new cars are all the same…which seems to be true.
and I generally don’t like it when a web-site changes it format and turns out like all the rest.

I like massive photos…that fill the whole screen…and that seems to be lost here.

Fantastic design, slick and clean

The interface is user friendly, mobile friendly also

As with your videos a lot of time seems invested in this and it pays off.

Great job guys and let hope we got a lot more years of amazing content in front of us.

Cheers.

First impressions ? Overly busy .. the site has lost all its wonderful charm , artistry , visual appeal and beauty [ just opening the old site was worth the effort whether there was an article of interest or not ] … looking overly homogenized , sanitized , twitterized with the likes of myself [ Old Guys ] are definitely not the intended demographic as have been some of the articles of late . e.g. Boomers .. especially well informed Boomers .. need not apply . I had the gut feeling once y’all sold your souls this’d be the end result … hence my previous exit .. but I was hoping maybe i was wrong . Sadly … I was more right .. and quicker than I ever could of imagined . So Good Luck …. and Good Night gentlemen . Its been a strange trip indeed . But the journey .. like many a journey .. has come to an inglorious end

Excellent.

Great!

Man and Machine? That’s a shame, not all your readers are men…

First impressions…
A bit clean and clinical, but I should maybe wait for the other tweaks that are coming before being too critical. I did prefer the way the images were laid out amongst the story beter than the new moving banner – and I miss the classic colours you are famous for.
I do like the fact that comments need to be specifically accessed rather than always visible.

Oh gosh I really like the old classic design! also in the web!

Like the website, love the trailer!

Nononononono.
not yet another uninspiring web page with a “mobile-friendly-look”. It’s apparently quicker to load, yes, but dull. I’m sorry but it’s as dull as a grey car on a grey car park on a rainy day in northern Sweden and to me petrolicious is a bright red, noisy roadster on a back road. Spitting oil mist and flames out the sidepipes. Not this.

To me it seems as all “mobile-sites” try to filter the users information flow without knowing the user and none tailor to the individuals wants. I like seing “everything” at once and letting myself filter out what I want. Take pictures-in-a-row for example. Uninspiring! Now there’s arrows covering the beautiful pictures both to the left and to the right and it makes my eyes hurt. You used to have all the pictures in a wonderful mix right in front of my eyes, spreading out like a canvas of Giallo Ocra, Rosso530, Nero Etna and Blu Olandese. Now it’s just one at a hime it seems. Like standing in a queue and waiting for the next order of fries.

No, I’m not inspired, in fact my boner’s loosing wood.

Update the old look please and make improvements on that instead of filtering out the user’s experience. It’s not like mobile-views seem to actually work any better on either of my platforms anyway, they just function differently but not for the better.

bring back the canvas of cars!

I like it! It is new and came as a surprise but I like the new style.
But one more thing: How about shipping of your T-shirts etc. to the old world (VAT, customs and so on)?

Amazing

I like the tiled look on the homepage. It makes it much easier to navigate. Thank you for improving the page design!
