Chris, I agree. It was only really 1 building this time whereas in the past the show was across 2. It’s also quite sad that on media day there was no one from Tesla to talk about the Cyber Truck. And again no presence from the big 3 US car makers nor big European makers. If I’m honest I was disappointed. The highlight for me was the cobble Beach classics. In the video next week you will see how much passion there was from the cobble Beach team and an owner for the their cars. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
@@ClassicCarChitChat Thanks, I'm not expecting a Geneva or Detroit but if they put 1/10th the effort you put into your work it would make a difference.

Hello Kevin, One of your three time "Chit Chat" guests was there today too! David Case of Porsche 914, 928, Cadillac Allante and also Collector Car Canada fame. Did you manage to spot him? Great video (as usual). Thanks.
Thanks David.. great seeing you too. The cobble Beach cars were extraordinary which I was filming when you came by. Stay tuned.. don’t forget the Jag is coming soon too.
How cool you got to go on Media day and a fantastic summary of the show. Looking forward to seeing the Cobble Beach cars too. as always you made another lovely video and it was so cool to see Richard Hammond. I didn't think he was so short. Hey he's still the cutest of the Top gear guys 🥰
Thanks Phil, I try.. it’s always challenging as a 1 man show trying to video and manage audio at the same time. You may enjoy part 2 coming out this Sunday morning.

Sadly, North American auto shows are no longer the premier venues showcasing automotive excellence, as the North American auto industry has fallen behind the times in terms of innovation such as EVs, which these days are principally coming out of China. Last year many prominent auto journalist noted the immense contast between the glitzy and fascinating Shanghai auto show and the lacklustre LA auto show shortly thereafter and it appears the trend is continuing.
Kevin, you are so right that sadly and noticeably (even compared to last year) the participation of mayor automakers is diminishing. As a lover of classic cars the saving grace was some of those extraordinary cars from yesterday that I made a separate video on.

Ugeneous, you are not wrong. I have a Chevy Volt and in the warm summer we get 120km and -10C we get 59km on average. The electric cars are so designed for US western states or perhaps the west coast in Canada or southern Europe or the Far East. Outside of these regions the range drops significantly. My rationale for buying is that it allows me access to the HOV lanes on the QEW and my trips to the gas station become infrequent with a plug in car. For those true co warriors it makes sense but for most of us we have to look at the practicality too. What is cool Faten is the technology that comes with these cars. If you get a chance check out the video I made of a Porsche Taycan. So many bells and whistles.. and obviously made for a different clientele.

Joe.. you nailed it.. we really need far more innovative makers at shows to really highlight what they do so well. For me.. the highlight were the classic cars where car makers were passionate about their cars.

Crystalmeth ( or should I call you Walter White 😊) I don’t disagree with you. It is a real shame we don’t see the German cars at all.. they were always the highlights.

Wish they would move the show back up to international centre with much better parking also the show is missing way to many key players which was never a problem before. I used to go every year now I will save money and just watch highlights on you tube. Not really interested in Hyundai and Kia cars
Richy, I completely agree with you. Just yesterday as an example Tesla adjusted the price of the Model Y be $6k overnight to qualify for the rebate… it will still make a profit, Similarly all cars (and most certainly SUV’s) are overpriced to begin with. Just look at the price differential between cars across provinces and between Canada and the US.I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

So, they call this an autoshow…no Honda, no VW, no BMW, no Range Rover, no Acura, no Audi, no Mazda, no Mercedes, no Jaguar, no Mini Cooper. Basically, the show sucked!
Mike.. it’s so sad but you are bang on. It is a real shame such awesome car makers did not attend the show. Sadly even last year they were not in attendance.

That is too many companies not showing up...maybe the Toronto show should be down graded or just call it a classic car show or something. I remember when this show sprawled across 2 levels even reaching the field level at rogers centre

i live in toronto and been to the auto show every year but ive stop for the simple reason is the city of toronto has a hatred for car loving people and puzzles me why would this industry still has a show in toronto. i didnt attend this year show because of the above reason and also i heard that it had many electric cars on display which i hate.

You know Jeeps rule! Great recap of some real gems and fantastic insights and interviews. Looking forward to seeing the Cobble Beach Beauties too.
Lol.. the Jeeps were amazing.
This is by far the best review of the car show from all others that I have seen of the 2024 Toronto show.
Thanks Kai
The T.O has always lacked any buzz. Maybe it's partially the floor and building layout and or a February auto show in Canada.
Chris, I agree. It was only really 1 building this time whereas in the past the show was across 2. It’s also quite sad that on media day there was no one from Tesla to talk about the Cyber Truck.

Thanks, I'm not expecting a Geneva or Detroit but if they put 1/10th the effort you put into your work it would make a difference. The fact there was no one from Tesla around for the cyber truck is the epitome of what is wrong. It's getting harder to support even if it was free and I needed the exercise. Thanks for the coverage.
It is appreciated.
Kevin, congrats on getting to go to media day. You deserve it and I've said it before the best car channel on TH-cam. 🎉
Wow, thanks!
Hello Kevin,
One of your three time "Chit Chat" guests was there today too! David Case of Porsche 914, 928, Cadillac Allante and also Collector Car Canada fame. Did you manage to spot him?
Great video (as usual). Thanks.
Thanks David.. great seeing you too. The cobble Beach cars were extraordinary which I was filming when you came by. Stay tuned.. don’t forget the Jag is coming soon too.
Haha, I'm David Hall... just a friend of David Case. You and I have not yet crossed paths. Hopefully one day we will. @@ClassicCarChitChat
David Case is an extraordinary collector of content at car shows indoors or summer cruise nights
Loved the interviews.
Thank you.
Another awesome video and as always fun to watch. Your sense of humor is priceless so don't ever change. 😂
Thank you so much 😁
Hey Kev, congrats man on getting invited to the show and loved you talking to Hinchcliff and Hammond. 😊
Awesome thank you!
Fantastic video and some real nice cars. Looking forward to seeing the Cobble Beach cars on your next video.
Coming soon!
Amazing video as always and great to see such awesome cars. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on getting into media day. Well deserved.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!
Congratulations on getting media access. That's a pretty big deal. Superb video too.
Thank you!

Good vid! I wanted to show up on media day too and got preoccupied with other tasks, but thanks for showing us around!
Quick question, were the Teslas just sitting around with no company reps to talk to? Obviously you couldn't get in any of them from the footage.

Sadly, nobody was there even the Cybertruck just sat there.
Not going this year, tooooo many electric cars
Lol.. read my comment. 😀
And there will be more next year
Awesome video and great overview. Shame no Tesla reps were there and again no sign of Mercedes and Audi.
Tell me about it
The CEO of Mercedes has recently joined the American CEOs in canceling electric plans.
