2008 Mercedes-Benz C230 4MATIC




This car is one slick ride. When you think about a practical Benz, you are likely to be thinking about this machine - the C230 4MATIC.

2008 BMW M3



Sporting a 400hp+ engine, this is one of, if not the fastest vehicle in BMW's lineup. You also pay a premium for this machine, starting at over $120k.

2008 BMW 128i Cabrio




I've never really been a big fan of convertibles - especially BMW and Porsche ones - I've almost always preferred the hard-top. However, the BMW 128i Cabrio seemed to sport that convertible option nicely. Just picture yourself riding into the horizon, wind on your face while beneath you, is one powerful machine.

2008 BMW 1 Series Coupe




The BMW 1 Series was a neat 1 - no pun intended. It reminded me of the M Series, especially with the addition of the body skirt. The vehicle had a 'meaner' feel to it. It was a bit 'chunkier' than its 3 Series counterpart.

2008 430 Ferrari Scuderia




These were 3 Ferraris on display. They were placed in one of the far back corners of the Metro Toronto Convention Center. I surprised to see how few square feet were allocatd to Ferrari. It made me think they didn't put a whole lot of effort in boasting their lineup. Nevertheless, the cars were a treat to look at - once I got in front of the other patrons.

2008 40th Anniversary Mazda RX-8 Special Edition




This vehicle was placed on a rotating platform along with another Mazda vehicle. This was pretty much as close as one could get to it, as it was not a 'sit-in & touch' model.
