Each winter, this city’s inherent car-lust culminates into the highly-anticipated, ten-day Montreal International Auto Show (January 14 to 23, 2011), where automakers from across the globe showcase breathe-taking new heights in hybrid and luxury car design.

For example, the Cadillac Converj has clearly been designed with the Batmobile – and subsequent Gotham car chases – in mind. Though, our personal drool-inducer was the 2011 Aston Martin Rapide , on display in a glistening white.

Don’t miss the popular Performance Zone, which features custom built beauties with refined engines, and allegedly, the most advanced sound systems in the world. Suzuki is also offering test drives for over a dozen 2011 models at this year’s show, though eager guests must be at least 25-years old, with a valid driver’s license and insurance policy to participate. Fine, Suzuki. Be like that.

Admission is $15 regular, and $12 for students and seniors. Doors are open from 10am to 10pm each day, and 10am to 7pm on the final day (Sunday, January 23).
