โ€œThe Intersectionโ€ exhibit debuted at 2020 CIAS. -

In a bold, new direction, Honda Canada is redefining the traditional approach to auto shows by creating an immersive and interactive experience that replaces static and conventional vehicle displays with an unforgettable tour of the brandโ€™s core pillars. Dubbed โ€œThe Intersection,โ€ attendees can explore the companyโ€™s interpretation of a modern cityscape, complete with conceptual sidewalks, trees, buildings and parks. Attendees can take part in engaging demonstrations and interactive elements that highlight Hondaโ€™s contributions to safety and mobility innovation, protecting the environment, Canadaโ€™s manufacturing sector and ongoing support of communities across the country.

โ€œOur brand is more than just cars, making us unique in the automotive world. This new concept models a city where visitors can immerse themselves in our story, see how we innovate, ask questions and better understand how we participate in the world around us,โ€ says Jean Marc Leclerc, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing with Honda Canada. โ€œWe know people attend auto shows to learn and experience something new, so weโ€™re breaking the mold with a dynamic environment that exposes all aspects of Honda Canada in a fun and entertaining way.โ€
