Feb 17, 2011 - Canadian International AutoShow

[Spyder01]

Got a chance to take part and work on media day at this year's international autoshow down at the MTCC. This year I found GM and Ford releasing alot of upcoming new cars and its not about whats coming this year, they're putting 2012 cars on display as well along with other manufacturers.

Mazda reveals their skyactiv gas engine and a new transmission. The skyactiv diesel will be coming later on. Lexus shows off their LF-A supercar and revved it up for us during the preview. BMW releases their new 6 series cabriolet and the 1 M series. I couldn't get much info on the 1 M, but looked amazingly fast. A lot of cool new cars also available to check out like the Hyundai Veloster, a new Ford Focus, and Mercedes SLK. Even Rolls Royce shows off their new Ghost along with Bentley's Mulsanne.

Great pics!

[hyper7boy]

Nice pics! I noticed a lot of Mazda ones :P Hopefully I'll be able to make it down sometime this week to the Autoshow. Looks like it might be worth checking out this year. I found last year didn't really have anything new to see so I wasn't thrilled but this year looks like it has a lot of great new cars that are worth checking out!

[RTEnthusiast]

Dude, I was at Media Day too.

Who're you affiliated with? Hit me a PM!

[Timotee]

Yeah that's the existing (2008+) Accord Coupe. Has a bunch of Honda OEM Rice added to it though.
