carOrder.com and Click2Asia.com Partner To Give Away a Free Automobile Each Month Throughout the Year 2000
    Click2Asia Members Reap Huge Benefits from Monthly Web Site Promotions

    LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12 -- Click2Asia, the leading online
community that unites Asians globally, and carOrder.com, the Internet's first
and largest automotive eDealer, have partnered to give a free car each month
to lucky Click2Asia members throughout the year.  The type of cars given away
throughout 2000 will vary, but the retail value of each car will be $20,000.
    "Forrester Research findings show that out of all ethnic groups online,
Asian Americans are most likely to make a purchase," said Joseph Cheon, CEO,
Click2Asia.  "carOrder.com recognized this marketing potential and came to us
to tap the burgeoning Asian online community.  By enabling click2asia.com to
give away a new car every month to our members, we have established a powerful
loyalty tool for both community and brand building."
    "We see the importance to allocate a portion of our marketing budget to
target the Asian online community and this partnership with click2asia.com
afforded us the perfect opportunity," said Brian Stafford, president and
co-founder, carOrder.com.  "Click2Asia has the ideal membership base and
community building tools necessary for us to reach this lucrative online
market and provide members with a chance to win free automobiles -- and get
great deals on cars from our Web site."
    Different promotions, such as the "Free the Nuts" campaign that launched
January 10, will be held monthly to select lucky members who will receive free
cars.  Members can participate in fun and interactive promotions including
having the most new-member referrals, joining a "Click2Asia Club," recruiting
members to your "Club," having the most "Click2Asia Points," among many others
that will be developed throughout the year.
    As part of Click2Asia's "Y2K Sweepstakes" that ended December 31, 1999,
carOrder.com sponsored the grand prize -- a Mercedes CLK -- to a
click2asia.com member.  The winner of the $50,000 Mercedes was chosen through
a random drawing of people who signed up for click2asia.com membership in
1999.
