.Silicon Valley Auto Show 2018 Opens

The 2018 Silicon Valley Auto Show is speeding into town this week. Featuring some 300 new whips from more than 30 manufacturers, it promises to be a gearheads’ heaven. But this show isn’t just for high-octane car buffs—it’s a great place to check out more practical models, without having to stress about on-commission salesmen breathing down your neck. Kick the tires on a crossover, check under the hood of a hybrid and plug yourself into an electric vehicle. There will even be opportunities to test drive some cars. The show runs through Jan. 7.
