    "Last week saw Priceline Auto Services move from a regional service to one that is available in the 48 contiguous states," said Maryann Keller, president of Priceline Auto Services. "With our new car buying service now available to a broader cross-section of America, we anticipate seeing an even greater variety of vehicles represented in our top ten list in coming months."

While the show ended on Sunday, visitors to priceline.com can still see the hottest cars through a number of short video segments, hosted by John Davis of PBS Motor Week and priceline.com's Maryann Keller.

    About priceline.com

    Priceline.com, parent of priceline.com Auto Services, LLC, is the Name Your Own Pricesm patented Internet pricing system that enables consumers to achieve significant savings on a variety of goods and services. Priceline.com takes consumer offers and then either communicates these offers to participating sellers or accesses participating sellers' private databases to determine whether it can fulfill the customer's offer. Priceline.com's "virtual" business model allows for rapid scaling using the Internet.
    Priceline.com is currently selling multiple services to its sellers across four distinct product categories: a travel service that offers leisure airline tickets, hotel rooms and rental cars; a personal finance service (powered by PricelineMortgage) that offers home refinancing and home equity loans; and an automotive service that offers new cars. Priceline.com also announced that it would offer new credit card, telecommunications and business-to-business services later this year.
    Priceline.com also licensed its business model to two privately held companies -- Priceline WebHouse Club, Inc., which offers Name Your Own Pricesm retail goods, beginning with groceries; and Priceline Perfect YardSale, Inc., a local-market selling service for used household items. In return for granting licenses to the WebHouse Club and Perfect YardSale, priceline.com receives royalties and has also received warrants allowing it to purchase an equity stake in the companies under certain contingent conditions.
