Four ways to win with Toyota, Lexus and Scion at the Canadian International Auto Show

TOYOTA CANADA - Visitors at this year's Canadian International Auto Show can check out the Toyota, Lexus and Scion booths for plenty of excitement – from a chance to win through four different contests to a sneak peek of the future with three special concept cars on display.

The show runs February 15-24 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The Toyota, Lexus and Scion booths are located on the 800 Level of the MTCC's South Building.

The Toyota booth will feature the Canadian debut of the Toyota Fun-Vii concept vehicle. It's a futuristic car that demonstrates how technology and automobiles can be seamlessly integrated. The Fun-Vii has a number of imaginative features, including exterior body panels that can transform the vehicle into one big display.

Meanwhile, at the Lexus booth, attendees can see two other concept cars that are also appearing in Canada for the first time – the Lexus LF-LC, a bold new luxury sport coupe, and the LF-CC, a progressive hybrid coupe inspired by the LF-LC.

While at the Lexus booth, people can enter a contest for a chance to win a new 2014 Lexus IS 250 F Sport. To enter the "Lexus All-New IS" contest, they simply need to complete a paper or electronic ballot at the booth, or go online at https://experience.lexus.ca/cgi-bin/WebObjects.exe/LTY.woa/wa/LexusISContest2English. The deadline to enter is July 3. The draw to determine a winner will be held July 14.

Visitors can also drop by the Scion booth to try to win a 2014 limited edition Scion tC. Paper or electronic ballots can be submitted at the booth, or entering can be done online at https://www.scion.ca/scion/en/secure/vehicles/tc/contest. The entry deadline is October 20 with the draw for a winner to take place on October 25.

In addition, a third draw can be entered at the Toyota booth. For the "You Could Win $10,000 Cash with Toyota" contest, members of the public just need to fill out a paper or electronic entry form, or go online to https://www.toyota.ca/cgi-bin/WebObjects.exe/LTY.woa/1/wa/ContestEnglish. The deadline for entering is December 31. The winner will be announced in a draw to be held next January.

Parents can also get involved at the auto show through the "Toyota Dream Car Art Contest." Canadian parents are invited to have their children participate in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest and express their child's vision and creativity through their design of their "Dream Car." One winner and two runners-up in three age categories will win a 7" 8GB Tablet device (with Wi-Fi). All nine winners will be submitted as Canada's entries into the world contest. Ten global winners will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Japan. Last year's contest attracted 620,000 entries from 70 countries. The entry deadline is March 22.
