2009 North American Truck of the Year Ford F-150, 2010 Lincoln MKT and Ford Taurus Feature Carlite Engineered Glass and SoundScreen Noise-Reducing Windshield

DETROIT, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ — The re-engineered Ford F-150 pickup,
announced January 11 as the winner of the 2009 North American Truck of the
Year award, achieves part of its cabin comfort thanks to a highly engineered
Carlite(R) windshield. The F-150 beat two other finalists, the Dodge Ram and
the Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC, to take the award.

In other NAIAS Carlite news, the upcoming 2010 Lincoln MKT and redesigned
2010 Ford Taurus will be fitted with Carlite’s noise-reducing SoundScreen(TM)
windshields. The two join a growing stable of 2010 model-year Ford Motor
Company vehicles featuring this advanced glass technology: the Ford Fusion and
Fusion Hybrid, Mercury Milan and Milan Hybrid, and Lincoln MKZ.

“Carlite is proud to be a part of the F-150’s continued success,” said
John Heller, vice president of automotive glass sales for Carlite. “Part of
what makes this vehicle so popular is its ability to keep wind and road noise
from entering the passenger cabin. Carlite’s premium SoundScreen technology
cuts exterior noise even further while offering possible weight savings. We’re
seeing more Ford products equipped with SoundScreen windshields at the
factory.”

SoundScreen glass first appeared on Ford vehicles in 2007 and is now
standard equipment on much of the company’s lineup. The noise-reducing
windshield uses a sheet of specially developed acoustic vinyl sandwiched
between two layers of glass, which reduces noise levels by as much as 6 dB at
certain frequencies and 2 to 3 dB overall. The result is a steady improvement
in customer-reported quality. In fact, wind noise complaints about Ford
products went from second-worst in the industry in 2003 to the best in 2007,
according to RDA Group of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Professional test drivers also credit the exceptional quietness of newer
Ford, Lincoln and Mercury products. Popular Mechanics magazine called the
cabin of the 2010 F-150 “luxury-car quiet.” The Detroit Free Press said, “The
F-150’s cab is exceptionally quiet, virtually free of rattle, wind and road
noise.”

In addition to the F-150 Platinum Edition, SoundScreen is available on the
Ford Flex, Focus and Escape, Mercury Mariner and Lincoln MKS. The first Ford
products launched with SoundScreen glass were the Ford Expedition, Lincoln
Navigator and Lincoln MKX.

The Lincoln MKT and redesigned Ford Taurus go on sale in mid 2009.

The North American Car and Truck of the Year awards are designed to
recognize the most outstanding vehicles of the year based on factors that
include innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value
for the dollar.

To be eligible, vehicles must be “all-new” or “substantially changed” from
the previous model. This year the jury considered more than 50 vehicles and
settled on 14 cars and 11 trucks that deserved to be on the ballot. Voters
then selected three finalists in each category, from which the winners were
chosen.

Ask(TM) Is Now the Official Search Engine of NASCAR; Ask.com Proprietary Technologies Will Create Best NASCAR Search Experience on the Web

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Ask.com, a leading search engine and an operating business of IAC (Nasdaq: IACI), today announced it has entered into partnerships with The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), NASCAR.COM, and Hall of Fame Racing. Under the terms of the partnership with NASCAR, Ask becomes the Official Search Engine of NASCAR, with category exclusivity and a broad set of promotional rights in order to reach the sport’s estimated 75 million loyal fans.

“As part of our strategy to go deeper into the highest-volume categories and provide the best answer, the first time, every time, we want to be the first place fans search online for NASCAR information,” said Ask.com Chief Executive Officer Jim Safka. “Through these partnerships, we will break new ground by applying our semantic search technology capabilities to NASCAR-related content while also tapping one of the largest marketing channels in America. Our goal is to win over the millions of loyal fans by providing them with the best NASCAR search experience on the Web, and introduce them to all of Ask’s capabilities when they come.”

Under the terms of the partnership with NASCAR.COM, Ask will further extend its reach by exclusively powering the search experience on NASCAR.COM, the official online destination of NASCAR. NASCAR.COM also will make available to its users Ask’s exclusive new NASCAR toolbar, which integrates unique content and is designed to provide fans with convenient access to Ask’s leading NASCAR search experience, and NASCAR.COM’s best-of-breed editorial content.

Using its proprietary DADS(SM), DAFS(SM), and AnswerFarm(SM) technologies, Ask.com will search NASCAR’s digital assets and structured data, making it instantly available to fans by entering natural-language queries into the Ask.com search box. For example, the query “Who was the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rookie of the year in 1995?” will return the exact answer, front and center on the first results page – something no other search engine does. Ask.com will begin rolling out these new offerings at the start of the NASCAR season in February and will continue introducing new search product features throughout the 2009 racing season.

“NASCAR, as well as our teams, tracks, and drivers, will all benefit from the innovative search technology Ask brings to the sport. The biggest winners will be NASCAR fans, now able to get the answers they want about the sport they love at the speed of NASCAR,” said Brian France, NASCAR Chairman and CEO. “We welcome Ask.com to the NASCAR family and look forward to their technology reaching every facet of our sport.”

Ask.com’s agreement with Hall of Fame Racing will make Ask the primary sponsor of the No. 96 Ask Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the sport’s premier level, giving the brand a frequent presence in front of NASCAR’s massive at-track crowds and broadcast audiences. According to NASCAR, 17 of the 20 highest-attended sporting events in 2008 were NASCAR races, and NASCAR is the second highest-rated regular season sport on TV. Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte will pilot the car in 2009, beginning with the DAYTONA 500(R) in February.

Ask.com is also in discussions with NASCAR-sanctioned track operators and media rights holders to identify strategic opportunities that will allow the brand to reach the sport’s 75 million fans through on- and off-line channels during the 2009 NASCAR season, including at-track displays and in-arena media.

BorgWarner Announces Joint Venture with 12 Chinese OEMs to Produce Dual Clutch Transmission Modules

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — BorgWarner
(NYSE: BWA) is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract to establish
a joint venture with China Automobile Development United Investment Co., Ltd.
(CDUI), a company owned by 12 leading Chinese automakers including FAW, SAIC,
Dongfeng, Chery, ChangAn, Brilliance, Guangzhu, Changfeng, JAC, Geely,
Polarsun and Great Wall Motor. Known as BorgWarner United Transmission Systems
Co., Ltd., the joint venture will be located in Dalian, China, and will
produce various dual clutch transmission modules beginning in 2011.

fun-to-drive experience. Customers include VW, Audi, Bugatti, SAIC, Nissan and
GETRAG PowerShift(R) dual-clutch transmission programs supporting global
automakers including BMW, Ford and Mitsubishi. In addition, BorgWarner is
currently working on over 25 programs with transmission and vehicle makers
