The Geneva Motor Show continues its long standing tradition of showing an abundance of concept cars to the industry, the press and the public. Geneva displays a product mix and design ethic that is very European but clearly tilting toward the International.

Significant new concept and production cars are expected from Volvo, Ford, Lexus, and Renault, amongst others. We will have all the highlights from the show floor during the press days March 1-2, and in-depth design reviews and an extensive photo gallery to follow.
