With the theme "The Turning Point," the 2008 Canadian International Autoshow—which opened at three venues within the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and Rogers Centre on Friday and runs through February 24—highlights new technologies, from satellite radios to fuel cell updates. With more than 1,000 new cars and trucks on display, several booths also showcase forward-thinking style in an effort to attract visitors amid the more than 850,000 square feet of show space.

Displays range from sprawling, dealership-like booths to more intimate, boutique hotel-influenced settings. Lounges, a common thread among booths, feature the look of hotel bars and lobbies, with items like cream-suede chairs and contemporary coffee tables. MORE >>
