There are lots of missing brands, but I think BMW is at least being represented by OpenRoad based on a floor plan I saw somewhere. For luxury brands, I imagine their clientele will go straight to the dealer if they want to see and/or purchase something.

Going forward, the Quebec EV market is likely going to shrink. The idiotic Quebec gov has racked up a deficit up to its eyeballs, and has decided to quickly and dramatically scale down and phase out its EV purchase subsidy by 2027 as one of their means to save some money.
-plenty of Porsches to see at the Jack Poole plaza in front of the convention centre during the Auto Show.
Thank you BC Hydro! -won a pair of tickets to the show from BC Hydro's Instagram contest. They were giving away 100 tickets to the show. -going with a friend to the show this weekend.
FYI:
The Daily Drive-Ups at the Vancouver Auto Show are your ticket to explore the diverse world of cars, each with its own story and legacy. Join us outdoors at Jack Poole Plaza for this unparalleled automotive celebration—where every day promises a new discovery.

Half joking / half serious question: Is the VPD hiding around the corner waiting to give out VI's like free candy?
I did not notice any cops near the Convention Centre or the Fairmont hotel area.
If you want some Krispy Kreme donuts, there were some students selling Krispy Kreme on West Cordova street closer to to the Waterfront skytrain station haha. They had a big sign that said "Krispy Kreme Fundraiser".
-probably girl scouts doing a fundraiser haha.
I would say there is a low risk of getting VIs like candy from cops there.
HOWEVER, there is some eye candy at the Auto Show.
There was a pretty blonde standing near the Scenic Rush car rental exhibit. She was holding a clipboard and looking at some documents while standing in front of blue curtains.
Maybe she works for Scenic Rush?
