The 44th Edition of the Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) closed its doors after welcoming 205,882 visitors over a period of 10 days, between January 13 and 22, 2012.
Auto Show President, Mr. Pascal Dandurand, commented that the show has become a tradition to Montrealers and Quebecers.
"Our objective was to present entertaining and diversified attractions to please all our visitors!" he stated.
This year, the Performance Zone impressed visitors with 40 modified vehicles that have been lavished with incomparable creativity. The real show-stopper was The Bugatti Veyron GS.
The Légendes de la route has retraced the evolution of some of the most iconic automobiles ever created. Nine amazing models, from the French Historia tv series Légendes de la route, were on display on level 5.
Once again, three days were dedicated to Breast Cancer. For each visitor who was wearing pink, $2 were given to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation (QBCF). The Show will donate a total of $2,066 for this worthy cause.
The Charity Preview evening, whose spokesperson this year was well-known comedian José Gaudet, was a resounding success. The event allowed organizers to raise $527,861.01 to benefit five worthy causes within the Greater Montreal's medical community: Foundation du CHUM, Montréal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation, MUHC-McGill University Health Centre Foundation, Pierre-Boucher Hospital Foundation and Santa Cabrini Hospital Foundation. Since it premiered back in January of 2005, the event has raised more than $2.8 million for various foundations of the Greater Montreal's health care community; an achievement of which the automotive industry is extremely proud!
