AutoTrader.com and NADAguides have a long-standing relationship under which AutoTrader.com powers NADAguides' new, used and certified pre-owned vehicle listings and NADAguides provides vehicle pricing for AutoTrader.com's listings. This year AutoTrader.com will launch a suite of tools and content, powered by NADAguides.com, that will make AutoTrader.com one of the easiest and most comprehensive places for car buyers to research, compare and find the perfect car.

The enhancements to AutoTrader.com's site through NADAguides that have already been launched or will launch soon are:

  -- NADAguides Integrated Content™ (NIC) that includes Used Car Data,
     Mapping Tools, Incentives and Rebates, vehicle classifications, Tips &
     Advice articles, "Fast Facts", warranty information and technical
     specifications.

"Our goal at AutoTrader.com is to be the ultimate automotive market place and with these new tools and content powered by NADAguides, coupled with the variety of other products and functionality we're rolling out, AutoTrader.com offers a complete suite of tools for buyers to research, compare, configure and find their perfect new or used car," said AutoTrader.com CEO Chip Perry. "AutoTrader.com could have purchased or built these tools on our own, but the opportunity to get all this content in a one-stop-shop partnership like NADAguides.com was too good to pass up."

"As long-term partners, NADAguides.com and AutoTrader.com have always been committed to providing car buyers with the most comprehensive research and shopping tools available online," said Lenny Sims, Vice President of Operations at NADAguides.com. "NADAguides.com has evolved into a full-service vehicle buying, selling, owning and research resource so it makes perfect sense to extend those services to AutoTrader.com, our trusted and valued partner."

These tools and content are key elements of AutoTrader.com's 2008 improvements, which include more robust research and compare functionality, detailed "Lifestyle Central" sections where buyers can search for cars based on attributes like "green" or "family focus," easier navigation, easier to read listing pages and unparalleled visual depictions of cars that include photos, color-change capability and videos. These new functionalities are aimed at giving automobile dealers the most robust set of tools for merchandising and marketing their vehicles online with AutoTrader.com and giving visitors to AutoTrader.com the most comprehensive tools for finding the perfect car.
