The 2015 Silicon Valley Auto Show is coming to San Jose

The 2015 Silicon Valley Auto Show is going to be held on January 8th – 11th at the San Jose Mcenery County Convention Center on San Carlos Street in San Jose. The show hours will be Thursday-Saturday from 10am-10pm and Sunday 10am-6pm.

Admission for adults is a bargain at $11. Senior Citizens (62 and over), Military with ID, students under 21 with school ID and children ages 7-12 are all $8. Children 6 and under are free.
Many manufacturers will be present, historically a very few will be missing. Scheduled to be present, but missing from the San Francisco show is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Other debuts scheduled are the Mercedes Benz C-Class, Honda CR-V, Fiat 500X, Mazda 3, Dodge Charger, Hyundai Genesis, Ford F-150, Acura RDX, Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and upcoming model(s) from Audi. Will a 707hp Dodge Challenger or Charger Hellcat be there? Go and find out!

The advantage this show offers with the Ride and Drives is the quick access highways instead of trying to thread through a congested traffic mess like San Francisco. Hopefully its more than driving around the block.Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Ford and Toyota will offer multiple vehicles. Planned from Ford include the new Mustange, Fusion Energi, CMAZ Energi, Explorer, Escape, F150, Flex, Focus, Edge and Transit Connect. Toyota should have the Camry, Corolla, Prius and RAV4.

For those that like exotics, this year should be among the best ever. Los Gatos Luxury Cars and the DuPont Registry Live will feature multiple vehicles. Additionally, the Blackhawk Museum Cars &   Coffee will be at the show for the first time ever on Sunday from 8am-10am in the outside convention center parking lot. Likely held downstairs in the back building again, Spider Photos Custom Cars and DUB Show Live will have a variety of custom exotics, muscle cars, trucks, low riders, motorcycles and more. This could be one of the best photo opportunities if they are not parked too close
together. In the past, the Ride and Drives are held in between the main show and this location.

There will also be a display of alternative fuel vehicles; an iPhone 6 giveaway contest and the San Jose Sharks mascot Sharkie will greet fans at Toyota on the 1t1th from 1-2pm. The downstairs of the convention center will have various vendors as well. Hopefully children walking on the seats and rubbing against the paint will be at a minimum. And only service dogs allowed, please.

Buying tickets online at www.SVAutoShow.com will saves $1 and attendees can receive a free one-year subscription to Motor Trend, courtesy of the Silicon Valley Auto Dealers Association. Give yourself several hours to enjoy a good show with a lot of variety.
