On the contrary, I've seen so much advertising for it throughout all my social media. Coupon codes upon coupon codes means that demand for it is lower than anticipated though, which is surprising considering how often "events" sell out and are jam packed in Vancouver.

Also, maybe its not a marketing budget thing but with the way cars have been selling the past few years with their post-covid inventory management, and people having to waitlist for months/years just to pay full fat MSRP they simply either do not see a need for it anymore or just don't want to.

I miss my annual Toyota and Honda tote-bags.
