Valentine's Day has come and gone but for car aficionado's love is still in the air. With the Canadian International Auto Show now underway, crowds are gathering around the newest car models and marveling over the latest concept vehicles, their hearts all a-flutter. Some have even been spotted on the showroom floor, mandible in hand, after discovering jaw-dropping prices such as that of the all-new 2015 Nissan Micra - $9,998. That's cause enough to fall in love with this Canadian-exclusive compact car, wouldn't you say?

When I attended the CIAS last Saturday with my husband and our son as guests of Nissan Canada, I went a little snap-happy with my camera. So many stunning cars, so little time. The one that caught my eye in the Nissan booth was the gorgeous Sport Sedan Concept.

However, our mission was to seek out the infamous Winter Warrior, the all-new Nissan Rogue. Of course, we had to get a photo taken with the notorious evil snowman from the Nissan Rogue commercial before any snow fights ensued. Because we all know the Rogue can easily save us from the merciless grip of winter and, well... you know how it ends for the villain in white.

Since I had a branch to pick with Mr. Snowman, I was quite ready and willing to show him how I felt about this year's harsh winter while posing for a picture. But my son, who loves cars more than I love chocolate, couldn't bare to stand around a minute longer. He had his heart set on checking out the rest of the Nissan lineup, such as the Xterra. The Nissan tag line was "Innovation that excites." Well, it sure does!

Did you hear? There's a new hero in town. And his name is Rogue. Nissan Rogue.

You may have already heard reports of villainous snowmen wreaking havoc in Toronto's downtown core. They've destroyed storefront windows, they've attacked innocent snowblowers and they have even been seen throwing... gasp... snowballs! These malevolent acts have not gone unnoticed, however, as the city has been graced with the ultimate Winter Hero. Watch the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue in action. (Warning: Snowmen may have been injured in the filming of this video.)

While the Nissan Rogue has defended the city from recent attacks by these merciless and notoriously evil creatures, which we have confirmed to be made of the abominable substance known as 'snow', we fear that this may only be the beginning. Recent sightings have been reported of snowmen hiding in the shadows in and around the area surrounding the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, which will be hosting the 2014 Canadian International AutoShow. Rumour has it that they may even make an appearance this coming weekend. A final showdown with the Nissan Rogue, perhaps? 

To celebrate the recent heroic efforts of the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue, we will be having a #NissanRogue Twitter party this Thursday, February 13 at 9 pm EST. My family and I will also be attending the Toronto Auto Show on Saturday, February 15 and getting our photo taken in the snowman photo booth. If you plan on attending, be sure to stop by and say hi! The photo booth will be open from 11 am to 7 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Also, check out this funny Nissan Rogue behind-the-scenes video: Interview with a Snowman Part 1.
