I want to attend the show during the week but not sure which day yet. I'm curious about the Stellantis stuff since they were absent in LA.

Think they would at least bring the new 500E, pretty sure Vancouver is an important market within Canada (alongside Quebec / Montreal I'm guessing). Would be nice to see the Quadrifoglio twins before they disappear.

There are lots of missing brands, but I think BMW is at least being represented by OpenRoad based on a floor plan I saw somewhere. For luxury brands, I imagine their clientele will go straight to the dealer if they want to see and/or purchase something.

Surprised that there are limited Korean and Japanese brands at the show this year. Anyone know why? Pickings look really slim.

The promo code 2024 can be used for a $3 discount if you pre-purchase tickets online. golden also works, but I think it'll expire today.

Going forward, the Quebec EV market is likely going to shrink. The idiotic Quebec gov has racked up a deficit up to its eyeballs, and has decided to quickly and dramatically scale down and phase out its EV purchase subsidy by 2027 as one of their means to save some money.

looks weak AF. certainly not paying to go. Maybe a freebie to hang out at the North Point Brew stand and BS w tofu at McLaren.

(almost) no german - no care

EV's? who cares
domestics? lol
who's buying a mitsu in 2024?
Vinfast? best thing about these have been the reviewers attempting to drive them.

what a terrible state of affairs new car buying is these days.

I did not notice any cops near the Convention Centre or the Fairmont hotel area.

If you want some Krispy Kreme donuts, there were some students selling Krispy Kreme on West Cordova street closer to to the Waterfront skytrain station haha. They had a big sign that said "Krispy Kreme Fundraiser".

-probably girl scouts doing a fundraiser haha.

I would say there is a low risk of getting VIs like candy from cops there.

HOWEVER, there is some eye candy at the Auto Show.

There was a pretty blonde standing near the Scenic Rush car rental exhibit. She was holding a clipboard and looking at some documents while standing in front of blue curtains.
Maybe she works for Scenic Rush?
