The James Bond Vanquish presented by Aston Martin

Visitors will get the chance to feast their eyes on James Bond's latest four-wheeled toy, featured in the latest 007 flick, "Die Another Day", which will hit the screens throughout North America during the Auto Show. The toy is none other than the Aston Martin Vanquish. The Vanquish shown at the Auto Show is identical to the original used in the film, but without all the imaginable gadgets. From chases, spills to death-defying acts, this vehicle captures the imagination and thrill of the reputed British spy. And the Auto Show's got it!

Annual blood drive

As is the case every year, a blood drive will be held during the Auto Show in collaboration with Héma-Québec. This year's blood drive will take place between 10:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on November 25, 26 & 27 at the Guy-Favreau Complexe, on level 00. As a gesture of appreciation, each person who donates blood will receive a free admission ticket to the Auto Show. Blood drive spokesman Bertrand Godin and Auto Show President André Dorais will be on hand to greet donors.
