The GTA had an M-B sponsored event summer of 2010, they can stand to share a little.

While we would have loved to include the west coast, the skills that will be taught will focus largely on winter driving. Some of you definitely have winter driving to deal with but a date in Vancouver or Victoria would not have had much snow this time of year. Rest assured that we keep all cities and of course all our loyal smart clubs in mind when we plan events that are not so weather-specific or seasonal in nature. Regarding the GTA, smart was part of the Mercedes-Benz test drive event that took place in conjunction with the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto - attendants had the chance to test drive most of the Mercedes-Benz lines along with three smart fortwos on a closed cone course. This test drive event occurs every year so if you missed it this year, there's always the next.

There was a smart test drive in conjunction with the PIAS in Vancouver a few years ago too, that one was fun.

A winter driving skills event in the GTA in the summer? Sure makes a lot of sense to me. MB comes through again.
