www.autoshowNY.com: New York Auto Show Unveils Its 2003 Web Site; Expands Online Tickets

    NEW YORK, Feb. 5 -- This year's New York International
Automobile Show may be a few months away, but that hasn't stopped Show
producers from unveiling the first debut: http://www.autoshowNY.com.  The new
Site gives enthusiasts a first look at the cars and trucks that are headed to
New York.  It also offers one of the most comprehensive online new vehicle
image databases, Show facts and figures, an online shopping mall, plus the
ever-popular auto trivia quiz.  Starting February 15th, it also saves
show-goers time by allowing them to buy online tickets in advance.  The Show
opens to the public on Friday, April 18th and runs until Sunday, April 27th.
    "Whether you're purchasing tickets, browsing the picture gallery for your
next car, or looking for directions to the Javits Center, autoshowNY.com is
the place to go," said Show Director, Candida Romanelli.
    The Site's new vehicle gallery includes photographs, product
specifications and technical information about cars and trucks from over
40 vehicle manufacturers, as well as dozens of images of the latest concept
cars.  Also new for 2003, a World Report section gives visitors a glimpse at
some of the vehicles that the rest of the world is driving.
    Trivia buffs can test their automotive knowledge and win prizes by
entering the daily Trivia Challenge contest, and the well-organized can map
out their visit to the Show in advance by checking out the easy-to-view floor
plans.
    "For those interested in never-before-seen cars and trucks, check back on
April 16th and 17th when the automobile manufacturers will be unveiling dozens
of new vehicles to the world's press.  We will be posting photos of these
debuts as they happen.  See them first at http://www.autoshowNY.com," concluded
Romanelli.
