Toronto — Limousine/bus builder Absolute Styling has announced that it will be displaying its new custom 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris luxury conversation van at the Canadian International Autoshow, scheduled for February 16-25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The Vancouver-based company will exhibit the vehicle at the Mercedes-Benz Canada space on the trade show floor.
Absolute Styling President & CEO Lorenzo Armani said the van was met with enthusiasm at the Montreal Auto Show in January. “This Metris is our own conversion and design. It was fully tested and approved by both Mercedes-Benz Canada and Transport Canada.”
The six-person van is loaded with a full array of features, including suede interior and fully powered Benz seats with power leg rests, back massage, and heated chairs.
“We’re the only company here in Canada that does this kind of conversion,” added Armani. “Ultimately, our goal is to have vehicles in showrooms throughout Canada. We have a big presence in Western Canada and in the Mercedes-Benz corporate showroom, but we want to be on display across the country.”
