Geneva 2010

2010 will be the 80th running of the Geneva International Motor Show, held at the PalExpo from March 4th - 14th 2010.

This will be one of the busiest years yet, with more than 80 press conferences many of which will all be available to view live on the show's own webTV channel.

There are plenty of new launches and premieres of cars such as Audi's RS5, Alfa's Guilietta, Jaguar's XKR Black Pack, Mini's Countryman, new supercar updates from Pagani and Koenigsegg, Porsche's new Cayenne, Lotus' facelifted Elise, Bentley's Continental Supersports Covertible plus the gorgeous Pandion concept car.

Those are just some of those that we know about before the event, but there are bound to be a few surprises as there were in 2009.

Geneva Gallery

We will be adding more images to this page as the day progresses, just ask Kevin to track down the cars you want to see and we'll add them to this gallery.

I never thought Id see the words hybrid on a race car!

Another couple of shots of the Hybrid 911 Racer.

Each Hybrid Racer comes with a pre-installed Dyson vacuum cleaner

Look the panamera wasnt pretty to begin with. Why make it worse?

Finally got an internet connection. The new Porsche 918 really is stealing the hearts of everyone here.

and satin greens are the colours of the moment. Gloss is so 1990

Having said all that Koenigsegg seem to do a nice shade of utilitarian grey for their new track orientated Agera.

There seems to be a common theme this year. Flat whites..

I noticed that Nissan arent the only ones to have a GTR. ABT have a great looking kit for R8 owners

Even more impressive was the drop top version.

Nissan, where have all your sports cars gone?

Back to the Porsche stand, first off as gaze once more at the 918 and secondly to see the Boxster Spider.

Aston Martin Rapide. (Ironically image number 0007!).

Another Aston Martin (The Signet) This time not so “Rapide”

Last one for this evening (more to follow tomorrow) One for my Wife (she owns a Panda).

#Geneva The new Focus, It will be interesting to see where how they make it look Butch enough for the hot models

I’m approaching the Mansory stand. Those with a nervous stomach please look away now. Also not advisable if you like Aston or Rolls….. You were warned!

The interior has suffered the same fate

And it doesnt get any better in the back either!

Thankfully they didnt ruin the Panamera too much.

The Aston on the other hand. Well its beautifully laid carbon, but gold weave?

I’ll move on quickly. Citroen are definitely onto a winner with the new DS3R.The New Clio contender?

The new citroen Survolt seems to be aimed at 7 year old girls…Its cute I dont get the pink girly look.

And if there wasnt enough pink on the Survolt just look at the REVOLTe

Another quick on with the suicide doors open

The car in front is a PRIUS. And so is the one running into the back of you!

Hasnt Toyota learnt anything? That bike has no brakes!

Having said that, as soon as someone tells me who to leave the deposit with Im having one of these

What was I saying yesterday about gloss looking so 1990′s? I was clearly wrong

Hats off to Audi for being bold enough to go with….BROWN?

Proof that models dont help to sell cars

The new Audi ragtop deserves another pic. I really like it

Ferrari Red is so hard to photograph

Didnt Jeep show this last year?

How Freudian that the Audi logo slips in. Stunning looking

The new RS sat in the corner not really getting the attention

Because everyone is STILL looking at the 918

Just one last piccie?

BMW’s engineless carriage?

  Liking the Porsche 918, can see why people think the car has stolen the show already..
  
  Have to say I'm thinking the panda does more for me than the Porsche 
• Rick Osborn
  918 Spyder and 911 GT3R - who said hybrids can't be sexy?!
• Steve Davies
  Geneva is known for its surprises, last year we had the Aston Martin Lagonda (ugh!), but this year we have this amazing Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. 
  
  Do I want one?  You bet.
