People will be able to see the full product lines.” The auto show, naturally, offers plenty of extras.
For automotive history buffs, Jaguar and Porsche will display exhibits showing the origins of their lines from beginning to present. And for those who prefer their cars “green,” the Think Blue Eco-Center showcases the latest in eco-friendly automotive technologies.
