The Washington Auto Show® is proud to announce several changes to its 2013 floor plan at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., including the debut of the Luxury Showcase. “We are elated to group these manufacturers together at the show for consumers to examine and enjoy all in one place,” said Robert Fogarty, president of Sport Chevrolet/Honda and Chairman of the 2013 Washington Auto Show.

In 2013, Toyota will move to the top floor, joining Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. And on the streets, consumers will be able to participate in at least five thrilling “ride-and-drive” experiences from top automakers including Subaru, Cadillac, VW, Toyota and Kia.
“The fresh, updated floor plan in 2013 will maximize the consumers’ Auto Show experience,” said Fogarty. “We are looking forward to these enhancements.”
