REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2004 -- Dealix Corporation, the market expert and leader in automotive Internet marketing services, announced today its continued momentum in new customer growth. Realizing year over year double digit growth in direct customer relationships with new car dealers, the Company surpassed the 3,300 franchise mark during the first quarter of this year.

"Our continued laser focus on the Internet leads vertical has benefited both our customers and Dealix," stated Greg Baszucki, Dealix president and co- founder. "Our dealers are reaping the rewards with higher close rates and sales, and Dealix is growing to meet the needs of the marketplace. Today, the retail auto industry faces the challenge of rising interest rates, thinner margins, and over production. As a lead aggregator, Dealix offers the efficient solution -- delivering the most ready-to-buy customers directly to dealers."

A recent study by Forrester Research, "Auto's Lead Management Landscape," named Dealix Corporation "the pioneer" in Internet sales lead aggregation. The study explained how "lead aggregators emerge to filter and feed the flood of leads" in the marketplace. In another report, conducted by a leading independent research firm, that surveyed dealers' satisfaction with Internet lead providers, Dealix Corporation ranked the highest in Business Generation, including quality and quantity of sales leads delivered to dealers.

"Dealix focuses on making car sales easier and less expensive for dealers," said David Kain, president of Kain Automotive, an automotive sales training and consulting firm, and former COO of FordDirect. "By offering dealers a quality product and great service, along with flexibility and control over the leads they get, Dealix has become a service provider of choice for many of the best Internet dealerships around today."
