Auto Makers Get Ready For 2011 Philadelphia Auto Show

It seems like every major city is holding an auto show, and Philadelphia won’t be left out. Although the event isn’t slated to begin until this Saturday, thousands of spectators are expected to be in attendance. Plenty of auto makers have already unveiled their most impressive redesigns and new models, but a handful of car manufacturers still have a few tricks up their sleeve.

First up is Ford, who is going to unveil the Ford Mustang BOSS 302 and an updated version of their most popular economy car, the Ford Focus. Many shoppers looking for cars for new drivers end up purchasing the Ford Focus because is it small, expensive and easy to handle. Volkswagen will be showing an updated version of the Passat and luxury car makers Audi and Bentley Motors will be revealing their latest contributions to the auto industry.

The convention will be held in Pennsylvania Convention Center, smack dab in the heart of Center City. City officials have been hard at work in order to make sure that there is adequate parking. The long awaited event will commence on January 28th, and ticket pre-sales indicate that this will be a sold out event. Other auto makers scheduled to make an appearance include Hyundai, Kia and Toyota. All in all, more than 40 different popular automotive companies will be showcasing their vehicles and holding events meant to educate the public on their latest innovations. Some companies will be pulling out all of the stops while others are only expected to feature one or two of their newest cars. A relatively new organization named the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation will be making contributions for every ticket sold. The event is expected to reel in visitors from all over the tri-state area as new car shoppers look for the next great deal.
