caradvice.com.au has been reportedly bought by Channel 9 for $35M:
http://www.news.com.au/technology/in...db58ed2007e930 A bit of an eye-opener - would never have thought an automotive website could be quite so valuable. |

Given some of the over the top prices some websites command I would have thought it would have been worth a lot more.

Probably some bankers want their money back. Very sad to see a once great Australian company run by great people in the sad state it is in now, slowly being ripped to pieces.

Yeah what a story! Alborz was in the WRX club with us and then registered that domain for $35 just for fun. He then turned it into something truly great. The little bugger even got to test drive a Veyron!

You can't deny CarAdvice commercial success - great photos and well designed website. As for the quality of car reviews - it is a website that is paid for by advertising from car manufacturers . Some reviews are more like infotainment than a critical review. VAG vehicles are their favourites .

Good on them. They went after the web space and caught the magazines napping. Havent read a mag in a long time. Read CA almost every day.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
