2010-Model Nashville International Auto Show

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (October 29, 2009) New cars, trucks, sport/utility vehicles and crossovers will roll into the Nashville Convention Center, Friday, November 27 through Sunday, November 29, for the 2010-Model Nashville International Auto Show. Attendees are invited to check out all the latest vehicles in a non-selling environment, sit behind the wheels, inspect engines and learn about new fuel-saving automotive technologies. From gas-sipping hybrids, fuel-efficient sedans and the hottest new convertibles and crossovers, this year’s auto show offers something for everyone.

Several exciting all-new or redesigned 2010-model vehicles will be showcased at the Nashville International Auto Show including the Acura MDX, Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Taurus, GMC Terrain, Lincoln MKT, Toyota Prius and more. Plus, see the hybrid models of some of America’s most popular vehicles including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry.

Showgoers looking for environmentally friendly cars and trucks, and savings at the fuel pump, can take the Green Trail to learn about the latest technology and trends in alternative fuel vehicles. Green directional arrows along the highway carpet will
help attendees find hybrid models on the auto show floor. Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Mercury and Toyota will showcase vehicles featured along the Green Trail. In addition to the alternative fuel vehicles, there are many fuel-efficient, non-hybrid vehicles for drivers to choose from that get over 30 mpg, so be sure to look for them as well.
