The Pikes Peak International Auto Show is gearing up for another great year at the The Broadmoor World Arena. Colorado Springs Sports Corp. has partnered with the Colorado Springs Auto Dealers Association to assemble new car dealers from the Pikes Peak region to feature the newest 2015 models and 2016 sneak peeks, including cars, trucks, SUV’s, and alternative fuel vehicles.

For over 40 years the Auto Show has offered an entertaining and convenient way for buyers to compare prices and features.  With cars to match every lifestyle and budget, prospective new car buyers have plenty to look forward to.

Shoppers can check out models equipped with technology such as Bluetooth, navigation, and smartphone integration, as well as advanced tech like improved infotainment systems, automated park assist, adaptive cruise control, and premium audio systems, or discover state-of-the-art safety features including lane departure warning, front collision warnings, frontal crash-mitigation and more.

“The Show is taking place both indoors and outdoors,” said Jeff Mosher, Special Projects Manager for Colorado Springs Sports Corp., “and we will have over 200 cars on display.”

Not only is this an impressive occasion for local car enthusiasts and would-be car buyers, it’s a remarkable opportunity for car dealers to show-off their goods.

“All of our 32 members are participating in the Auto Show,” said Bob Fenton, Executive Director of the Colorado Springs Auto Dealers Association.  “Virtually every local franchise will represented with samples of all their cars.”

In fact, for anyone considering a new car purchase in the foreseeable future, this is the best place to get an up-close look at the latest choices in the automotive market, and it only happens once per year.

“I believe we have five different manufacturers of full-size pickups,” said Fenton.  “While the internet is a great source of information, there’s nothing like seeing them in person to get a real feel for what you’re looking for, all in one place.”

Additionally, there is an abundance of additional activities taking place for the duration of the Auto Show. On Friday, attendees who wear Air Force Falcon colors receive $2 off an adult priced ticket and there will be giveaways for tickets to the Air Force Falcons versus San Jose State Spartans football game on Saturday.

Family Day is on Saturday, with tons of fun featuring Rocky Mountain Gamerz and their 26-foot long trailer equipped with six flat screen TV’s and loaded with the most popular games for the XBox, PS3, and Wii. Other kid-friendly activities include go-carts, bounce-houses, and special guests.

The final day, Sunday, is the Auto Show’s massive Denver Broncos Game Day Party.  “We’d love to have 2,000 people join us in the stands screaming and cheering on the Broncos,” said Mosher. “Every screen in the Arena will have the game on, including the jumbo scoreboard, and the grill and bar areas will be open to serve food and drinks throughout the game.” Auto Show-goers wearing Bronco colors receive $2 off a regularly priced ticket
