Fix the broken full-screen aspect ratio
Full-screen is messed up if you're using a monitor with a 16x10 resolution. Please fix this. I love looking at your photos, but can't do it when the full-screen aspect ration is so corrupted. Come on... this really shouldn't be a difficult thing to figure out.
3rd rankedThanks for the feedback. Can you let us know more about what you mean by full screen? Are you referring to the entire website when your browser is in full screen? Or some other experience within our site? Thanks.

Mobile site redirects to weird ads/malware without letting return to article
Your site on mobile (iPhone XR using Safari) and every other mobile device seems to redirect to malware and weird ads at random articles
3rd rankedThank you for your feedback. Sometimes malware ads creep in through bad advertising partners. Can you get a screenshot of the ad or recall what the ad was advertising so we can track it down and remove it?

Turn off video auto play in articles
It would be great if videos didn’t autoplay in articles or at least give us the option to turn it off. I listen to music on my headphones or through a Bluetooth speaker often. When I read an article, the videos automatically stop my music and takeover. It’s really annoying.

Back Button
You should have some way to get back to the main page without using the back button in a web browser. Currently when you do so it takes you back to the top of the main page as opposed to the page on which you clicked on an article.
3rd rankedThanks for the example. There is an old but still valid web development tenet that says “don’t break the back button”. We try to stick to best practices like this when we can in an effort to provide consistency across browsers. For a while, browser vendors were handling back button clicks differently. However, they’ve come back to a more common way in recent years. If you scroll down our home page or another page that lists our posts and then click the browser back button in Chrome, Firefox or Safari, you will go back to the same place you were (for the most part). This may not be the case when large ads are running at the top of the screen. We’ll continue to investigate different scenarios and possible solutions. We really appreciate your feedback.

Don't create sensational headlines (Kia Stinger GT)
Chris McGraw implied that the Stinger started falling apart after 10000 miles yet said he'd be glad to get behind the wheel again . A rattle and a squeak don't justify the headline. It's under warranty, take it to the dealer and get the rattle fixed!

Reguards to 2020 Silverado HD.
It is not hard to figure out that the new Silverado HD takes its look from the old 60's Chevy Medium duty heavy duty Body style. Its not new so please do your own research before you blog an article. In my opinion GM had it best 2018.

Gallery does resize properly in iOS
Images in the gallery are distorted and the aspect ratio incorrect on all iOS devices. Super buggy and unusable.

Improved data organization
Items such as "Dual Zone Climate Control" are features not specifications. Please keep the 2 sections separate. Specifications should be in table form as consistent as possible to make comparisons easier.

The first Toyota Prius sold in the U.S. was the 2001model year. I know because I got mine December 2000
Do some fact checking: 2001 not 2003 was the first Prius model year. It had been on sale in Japan for three years before that.
3rd rankedCan you send us a link of where you think we have incorrect info? Thanks.

Stop intrusive malware and redirect ads!
Looks like you have at least one rogue ad that is auto redirecting mobile visitors to a malware site. I tested it and it showed up repeatedly on this page: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/11/30/gm-ceo-mary-barra-washington-lawmakers/
3rd rankedThanks for the feedback. We are looking into it. Can you tell us which ad placement you were looking at? For example, was it at the very top, or the square on the right of the page. Or perhaps one of the suggested articles near the bottom?

Ignore Commenter
Please allow for the people to actively ignore other members. For the love of god... please. If I have to see another childishly bold comment from The Car Expert (sic), I'm going to lose it.
3rd rankedGood morning. Wanted to let you know that we are working with our partner to add a “mute” or “hide” commenter feature. We don’t have a timeline defined for this yet but will keep you updated.
