2014 Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS)

Are you ready to see a collection of the world’s finest automobiles? The Canadian International AutoShow has a rich and diverse culture that has become a part of our tradition as Canadians. Being Canada’s largest annual auto show event, it has grown to be a major tourist attraction and is extremely popular in Ontario, bringing in an average 300,000 visitors through the entire show.

The Auto Show rents booths to over 125 exhibitors who promote contests, products, services and even locally owned vehicles. Which brings us to Toyota; Toyota attends motors shows each year to share information about new vehicles etc.

With 10 from ALG and 7 from Canadian Black Book (CBB), Toyota Canada entered this year’s Canadian International Auto Show with more awards for the long-term value of its vehicles than any other Canadian manufacturer. The awards are a demonstration of Toyota’s reputation for quality, dependability, reliability and longevity. These awards hold meaning to Toyota Canada because they let our customers know that they can trust the lasting value of our products and services.
