The San Antonio Auto & Truck Show continues to garner increased attention from the automotive manufacturers, the media and the public as well. In addition to a full line-up of major automotive company exhibits, including the exotic car companies such as Lotus and Rolls Royce, among others, this year the show welcomes back Porsche, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and Hyundai to their ever-growing list of exhibitors.

The special sneak preview for the media will be held on Thursday, November 19, beginning at 8:00 a.m. through the opening of the show at 2:00 p.m. The Media Morning will feature press conferences presented by the major automotive manufacturers as well as the announcement and presentation of the 2016 Green Truck of the Year and the inaugural 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year awards.

New special exhibits will make their debut in 2016 including the Aftermarket Expo, an entire hall dedicated to the ever-popular automotive aftermarket segment.   Car aficionados who love to personalize their rides will appreciate this new addition to the show.   And that’s not all!  The San Antonio Raceway, home of the fastest quarter-mile in Texas, will debut their new exhibit featuring an exciting array of racecars including super-fast dragsters.   Located right in front of the Convention Center, Ford and Toyota will provide test rides to show visitors.
