2017 Auto Shows Across the US Wow Consumers

The Toyota Sienna Has So Much Swagger!

Fun, Cars and Photo Ops, All Captured on Instagram. Did We Get Yours?

Looking for shoes, a purse, a new planner? Head to your computer for online shopping. Looking for a new car? Consumers prove that 2017 auto shows are still the place to research and sit in the latest models from multiple brands under one roof.

Auto shows allow the chance to really get under the hood, sit in all the seats, ask questions and check trunk space- all without the pressure of a dealership sales pitch. Across the country 2017 auto shows are in full swing and their stories are unfolding on Instagram. We look at the action at the Atlanta International Auto Show, Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show, the first Hawaiian International Auto Show, and the Greater New Orleans Auto Show. Looking for info on Austin or Dallas? We have that too!

Consumers flocked to the show to see how a new car would fit into their family. Would the kids give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

Looks like they approve! Other folks also tested out how they’d look behind the wheel in a  new car.
