GREENVILLE, S.C. – The 2015 South Carolina International Auto Show is back in town, bringing more than 250 all-new vehicles, test drives, alternative fuel vehicles and more to the TD Convention Center! Held Friday, January 16 through Sunday, January 18, the auto show is designed as a one-stop shop to research, compare and try hundreds of new models on for size.
