    "Japanese brands continue to dominate our top ten list, with Toyota and Honda being the biggest winners," said Maryann Keller, president of priceline.com's Automotive Services group. "Our recent alliance with Ford is also starting to show dividends as the Ford Explorer debuts on this month's list at number 10. While the relationship is currently limited to Florida, we are driving traffic to Ford's Web site as Floridians are naming their own price for Fords by accessing priceline.com through Ford.com."

About priceline.com

    Priceline.com is the patented Internet pricing system that enables consumers to achieve significant savings by naming their own price for goods and services. Priceline.com takes consumer offers and then presents them to sellers who can fill as much of that guaranteed demand as they wish at price points determined by buyers.
    Priceline.com's "virtual" business model allows for rapid scaling using the Internet. Because the Company electronically collects consumer demand, it can fill this demand directly with sellers or by using proprietary databases. Priceline.com does not maintain or warehouse inventories in any of its product lines. Priceline.com is currently selling multiple services to its sellers across three distinct product categories: a travel service that offers leisure airline tickets, hotel rooms and rental cars, a personal finance service that offers home mortgages, refinancing and home equity loans, and an automotive service that offers new cars. Recently, priceline.com announced that it would also offer a name-your-own-price service for long distance calling.
    Priceline.com also licensed its business model to a privately owned company, Priceline WebHouse Club, which offers name-your-own-price retail goods, beginning with groceries in the New York metro and greater Philadelphia areas. In return for the WebHouse Club license, priceline.com has received warrants allowing it to purchase a majority equity stake in the WebHouse Club under certain contingent conditions. Prior to the exercise of this warrant, the results of WebHouse Club operations will not be included in priceline.com's financial statements.
