CHICAGO, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
premier online resource for buying and selling new and used cars,
has introduced an all-new mobile app to help car shoppers navigate
auto shows with the help of Cars.com experts. The app provides
users with breaking news on new car introductions, must-see
vehicles along with up-close vehicle photos and videos for the
major 2012-2013 auto shows.
"Our new auto show app gives car shoppers instant breaking news
on new car launches as well as photos and videos from this year's
auto shows," said Patrick Olsen,
Cars.com's Editor-in-Chief. "Instead of waiting to research what

expert insights while they walk the auto show floor, and make sure
they don't miss any must-see cars."

Cars.com continues to be a leader in the mobile space, offering car
shoppers a variety of mobile tools, like our new auto show app,"
said Olsen. "The auto show app is a great tool to help shoppers see
the most important cars at an auto show while researching for their
upcoming purchase. Once a decision has been made, shoppers can then
use the Cars.com App to search listings and find a local
dealer."
