    Safe Harbor Statement:
    Certain statements in this news release, including statements that include
words such as "expects," "believes" or other future-oriented statements, are
forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated
results. In particular, factors that could cause Autoweb not to reach
profitability in 2001 include, but are not limited to: our ability to attract
consumers through existing portal relationships; the combined viability of
current and new car buying processes on our site; consumer acceptance of
online car buying and our ability to continue to reduce expenses without
comparable or greater revenue reductions; and the effect of the restructuring
of certain marketing agreements; the failure to realize anticipated synergies
related to the proposed merger with Autobytel.com, failure to obtain required
stockholder or regulatory approvals or the merger not closing for any other
reason, failure of the combined company to retain and hire key employees, and
difficulties in successfully integrating the parties' businesses and
technologies.  Other risks and uncertainties include the fact that the Company
received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on March 1, 2001, indicating that
the Company has failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement for
continued listing, and is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National
Market; changes in competitive behavior or market forces; uncertainties
regarding response from the vehicle manufacturers; changes in the legal or
regulatory environment, changes or lack of changes in consumer preferences
over time, technological challenges and an inability to forecast future
traffic and transactions. Further information on risk factors that could
affect results is detailed in Autoweb's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-71177) and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, filed
with the Securities and Exchanges Commission, including (without limitation)
under the captions, "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
