While most media outlets cover media day at the Canadian International Auto Show, the Toronto Star covers the entire show because our Wheels section puts out a 24 page tabloid paper every day at the Auto Show. The paper's are available at the entrances to the halls and filled with pictures and stories behind the cars and displays.
Look for the paper at the entrances.
