As the final stop on the Canadian auto show tour, the 2011 Vancouver International Auto Show will take place from March 29 to April 3 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Visitors will be able to admire the latest models and innovations from the world's top automakers.
This year, one of the showstoppers will be the all-new 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which is making its debut on Canadian soil.
Available in May, the car is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. It also features a fully-independent sport suspension, an electronically-controlled XDS cross differential system, four-wheel disc brakes and a more upscale interior.
Special attractions and contests are on the menu as well. Fans can enter to win the Ultimate Barrett-Jackson Experience in Las Vegas (valued at over $3,500) or a VIP trip to the renowned Bridgestone Racing Academy at Mosport International Raceway in Ontario.
