Review:
A nice bright car blog with sparkling colors and large typography. I kind of like the image treatment on the header, but also not. It feels disturbing and interesting at the same time... The typography is large - maybe too large for a 800x600 layout. I would love to see a dynamic width on this one. Nice rounded boxes with pleasant colors makes the layout work for me , and the subtle graphic details adds that little extra to the site. Well done to .

I love this design. It's bold and beautiful. The massive use of rounded corners gives it a nice piece of style, not to mention the choice of Trebuchet MS for the post header.
The only thing I don't like is the flash rollover glitch in the navigation in IE (by default).
Hmmm, I don't much care for it. It doesn't seem fluid in look to me -- more cluttered and tossed together. I really don't like the link tabs for the main navigation, the header image isn't very visually appealing on my end... I do like the rounded corners, though I would have liked alpha transparent edges to smooth it out, or level off the binary edges so it doesn't look so stair-stepped. It works, and that's what counts, but it looks visually unorganized to me.
I can't make up my mind whether I like this site or not. Visually it's messy but it is compliant. It's easy to read but hard on the eyes with the colour scheme. It doesn't make me want to go back time after time or use it for inspiration. At least there's no drop shadows or torn edges which is a plus.
Looks lika a template from blogger.com. Nothing special at all
Average site. It is too cluttered.
i read your blog for about a year, keep a good work
regards
I just wanna ekko the first comment from Fernando Dunn II. I really love the design. Keep up the good work
I really like my new subaru forester
Hi there! For a moment I’m creating a blog about Subaru and people for whom Subaru is much more than just a car. Subarumania exists in many countries and in every country this mania has its peculiarities. My goal is to collect as much as possible information about subarumaniacs throughout the world. This site is NOT commercial. Mail to Alex (subamaniac@gmail.com <mailto:subamaniac@gmail.com>) if you have any information about people who have such passion for Subaru. Any information will be very much appreciated. And welcome to my site!
I think the best car you could bream to buy is the Porsche 911 993, the last of the air-cooled Porsches. I had the pleasure of driving one once round a track. I long for the day that one will be mine. You have to have dreams. From James at Used Car Parts
headlights with there sharp design do not match the rest of the lines on the body, they look out of place and bring down the design of the car. Does anyone also think that the orange indicators should have been yellow?
Thanks for all the tips. I'm adding a blog to my auto site shortly and appreciate all the examples presented on this site, including the above car blog, as well as the user comments. Extremely helpful.
