Earth-friendly cars: AJAC's Montreal unveiling!
As part of its special feature, On Route to a Greener Future, the 2006 MIAS will host the unveiling of the industry's best new alternative power vehicle, as selected by members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). This unveiling is usually held in December in Toronto, but because of the focus being paid on alternative energy during the 2006 MIAS, the AJAC has decided to wait until January 19, 2006 to make its presentation at the MIAS. Hundreds of journalists will attend this media-only day and car manufacturers will present their Canadian premieres.
Taking a green turn
In 2006, the MIAS is taking a sharp green turn as it deals with environmental issues by reconciling the automobile's position in relation with the environment. This is why the Show's On Route to a Greener Future segment will act as a key backdrop for the introduction of ecologically-friendly vehicles and conferences on alternative energy sources. This will also be the gathering place for handy tips on fuel efficiency and conserving energy.
With the price of fuel on the rise and the pending implementation of the Kyoto Agreement, the MIAS is aiming to become a reference source on alternative energy and fuel conservation by offering the latest information to visitors. And the MIAS will reward all visitors who have used public transit to attend the Show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, by offering a $2 discount on the price of a single admission to the MIAS.
The Corvette Evolution
During the 2005 Show, the Mustang Evolution attraction proved extremely successful. The 2006 Edition will see another type of evolution – the Corvette Evolution! This special feature will allow visitors to go back in time and follow the history of this fascinating vehicle by viewing the many different types of Corvettes that have come off the assembly line over the years.
Catch the excitement of Tuning -- again!
Visitors will, once again, be able to feel the passion of Tuning when they take in another favourite special attraction – a collection of modified and hammed-up vehicles. This is the third consecutive year of the Tuning presentation. This year, the MIAS will present cars that captured the prizes for best-modified vehicles during the annual competition held by Team SCP.
MIAS: it's for the whole family!
This year, the MIAS will offer a revamped family package. From Monday to Thursday, the price of admission will be $30 for two adults and two children, while the price will be $34 between Friday and Sunday. The 2006 MIAS will also offer various promotional events to cater to the whims of just about everyone. The beautiful vehicles on display will no doubt capture the hearts of every member of the family – both young and old. And once again, a free on-site childcare service for young children will be available. The KIA Sedona Childcare Centre will allow parents to visit the show at ease, knowing that their kids are in the reliable hands of trained professionals.
The MIAS magazine – IT'S FREE!
Other new feature this year: the MIAS Official Magazine will be offered free of charge to all visitors. This is the ideal guide for visitors who want to know more about the products on display. "This year we want visitors to fully take advantage of this publication and that is why we decided to make it available for free," said Norman Hébert, President of the 2006 MIAS.
