In Canada, that automatic cover is generally for "like" coverage between your existing car and your new car...i.e. if your existing car is older and you do not carry collision cover on it, then your newly acquired car (for 14 days) will not have collision cover on it as the automatic cover feature "follows form" for the existing coverage on the policy..be careful when relying on the automatic cover feature...
Just another tidbit - I called my CA State Farm agent before buying the car to be sure they'd cover it. I asked him if I needed to get covered before buying the car and he told me that actually I'm automatically covered for up to 14 days, and that to save money I should call him on the 13th day and add the car to my policy - getting almost 2 weeks of free insurance. YMMV.
