The Washington Auto Show is a huge event displaying more than 700 new makes and models of cars, trucks, mini-vans and sport utility vehicles from over 42 domestic and import automakers. The Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association (WANADA) sponsors the auto show each year to entice, educate and entertain hundreds of thousands of consumers. The latest innovations in alternative fuels will take center stage at the 2010 Washington Auto Show. This is a great way to learn about more energy-efficient vehicles. Visitors will also find free car giveaways, special guests, promotional contests, childrens activities and live entertainment.
