The annual auto show is going on now at the Convention Center in Downtown Buffalo and the local car dealers are pulling out all the stops for this year's event.

I took a walk through this morning just as the doors opened and the crowd was beginning to build telling me that there is a lot of interest in new cars this year. New models seem to grabbing a lot of attention like the Hyundai Veloster with its sleek lines and low price tag, and the Nissan Leaf with its all electric engine.
