FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CARSDIRECT ACQUIRES GREENHYBRID.COM

Los Angeles, January 25, 2006 – CarsDirect.com today announced the acquisition of GreenHybrid.com, a leading online community site for hybrid car owners. GreenHybrid.com is home to thousands of hybrid owners who share practical advice about everything from the best new models to tips for getting better fuel efficiency out of your hybrid. The site offers a unique Real Hybrid Mileage Database -- an easy graphical illustration of actual MPG realized by everyday drivers of the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid and other vehicles. It can be found at http://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/.

"We look forward to integrating a successful community site like GreenHybrid.com into the CarsDirect family," said Bob Brisco, CEO of CarsDirect.com's parent company, MH Sub I, LLC dba Internet Brands. "You read a lot about hybrid fuel efficiency in the press these days -- how are they performing, what is their actual mileage, how do you get the most out of them? Well, nobody knows better than the drivers, and the drivers meet at GreenHybrid."

GreenHybrid.com was founded by Toyota Prius owner Jason Siegel. He started the site to reach out to other enthusiastic owners and give them a way to track and compare notes on their fuel efficiency. Traffic quickly took off with the growth in hybrid owners, who by now have contributed more than 42,000 posts on 5,000 different discussion topics.

"No one is more informed and passionate about hybrid technology than hybrid car owners,” said Siegel. “GreenHybrid.com provides a means for enthusiasts to share their knowledge with the community and other interested consumers."
