| Auto Lies Banned from NYIAS AutoSpies.com spy Don Buffamanti (aka 001...) was approached this morning by NYIAS PR rep Chris Sams & a handful of security guards, was asked to relinquish his media credentials & was escorted out of the show. As you guys might or might now know Autospies published a, what they called a "reader-submitted image" of the Acura ZDX ahead of its unveil yesterday, which Acura did not find so humorous. Now Autospies are making some hilarious excuses on their site such as "You would think in the current condition Acura and the auto business in in right now they would WANT excitement and hype surrounding their products!", "And HEY, it's an AUTO SHOW, not a convention about our national security! Lighten up!" & "After all, we ARE the number one website for auto shows in the WORLD!" Lol wimmer will love this I think we should become the nr 1 fan sight for Acura besides all german cars.. Just for owning autolies so hard

Let's say it's Dumb & Dumber... Autolies did show us some cool pics of not-unveiled-yet cars though.

| I hope this is just the beginning. They should be banned from more autoshows. |

| Yeah, but they usually do it in a very shady way. I'm surprised car companies even allow them an info in the first place.

| Auto Lies, what are they good for? Oh, wait, I remembered, it is a playground for people without a clue about motoring!

| What I can believe is that Lexus are doing heavy advertisement on the website. How cheap isn't that, associating yourself with the worst auto site on the planet. I guess their want to keep in touch with their biggest fan base. |

| The site is trash but they do have extensive galleries. The funny thing is, is that they got their fame from posting that early W220 photo and other information on it. Automotive Brands, Shows and publications should have known they are a bunch of weasels.
