Laforza Automobiles Appoints Financial Consulting Firm

    ESCONDIDO, Calif.--Aug. 29, 2000--Laforza Automobiles Inc. (Pink Sheets:LFZA) announced today the appointment of PMR and Associates of San Diego for financial consulting services.
    Laforza manufactures and distributes a luxury sport utility vehicle ("SUV") under the Laforza name-plate. SUV sales have been robust throughout the U.S. over the past several years, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the market.
    Road & Track Magazine reviewed the Laforza SUV as follows:

    "Laforza's full leather interior features electrically adjustable
    bucket seats in front, a bench seat in the middle, and 40.5 cubic
    feet of cargo space in the rear. Power everything, air
    conditioning, a sunroof, a top-notch sound system, and any other
    imaginable opulence are standard, including lots of head and
    legroom. There are no mechanical or amenity options (none needed).
    The ride and handling are superb for a vehicle of this heft and
    size. Laforza has an impressively low center of gravity and very
    little body roll. This vehicle can handle all the bumps off road
    and on the highway. Laforza is impressively quiet and feels
    luxurious."

    "The appointment of PMR and Associates will increase Laforza's exposure to its shareholders and the investment community," said David Hops, chief executive officer. "We anticipate announcing several important new developments related to the growth of Laforza in the near future," he continued.
    "I am extremely excited about working with the management of Laforza and assisting them with strategic planning and enhancing shareholder value," said Patrick Rost, PMR president.
