DETROIT, Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) has announced today that NAIAS Presenting Sponsor MOTOR TREND has partnered to provide the first-ever "Ask the Experts" Ambassador Program for the 2016 event.
Through the partnership, NAIAS will provide show visitors with an opportunity to "Ask the Experts" from MOTOR TREND's editorial staff with vehicle questions submitted through event Ambassadors using iPads from the show floor. Attendees will also have the following options to submit questions to MOTOR TREND staff during the January 11-24 show:
"The car industry is back and booming with the highest sales since 2000. There is not only a spectacular array of vehicles to choose from, but tons of dizzying new features as well. We know consumers are excited and have a lot of questions, so our MOTOR TREND Ambassadors and editors will be available to help," said MOTOR TREND's editor-in-chief, Edward Loh.
In addition, NAIAS "Ask the Experts" Ambassadors will offer a wayfinding destination for show visitors. Ambassadors will be stationed throughout Cobo Center and on the show floor, providing a one-stop resource for NAIAS and Detroit information and directions.
