TORONTO, ONTARIO — It was a record-setting opening for the third year in a row at the AutoShow, with 48,701 people making the trip down to Metro Toronto Convention Centre to see the latest cutting-edge vehicles on the market.
It’s not hard to see why love for the AutoShow is growing. With an estimated total of $100 million worth of cars, trucks and SUVs on the show floor there is bound to be something for everyone.
Kids will love playing video games in the Esports Zone, enjoying Virtual Reality demonstrations and checking out the life-sized LEGO® TECHNIC® model of a Bugatti Chiron. Big kids will love the curated collection of vehicles in Auto Exotica including brands such as McLaren, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Tesla and the North American debut of the first Dubai-built car the Devel Sixteen.
We can’t name every vehicle at the AutoShow but we have picked out a few cars that we think will appeal to readers who want to travel in style and have a some fun.
