After 3 years, it was nice to return again to the Geneva Car Show to check out what did the manufacturers in these 3 years. Well, it appears no one gets away w/o a hybrid at their stands (even if its a "hybrid" in the sense of a 15HP electric motor coupled to a 300HP combustion engine like the Mercedec S which they are not ashamed to call a "Hybrid") and a couple of electric car concepts.
A new trend that we observed is that most sport-car makers seek to get on the family car market with cars such as the Porsche Panamera:
, the Aston Martin Rapide:
or the Bugatti Galibier (sorry no photo, there were just too many people around), all relying on the success of the Quattroporte.
Other than that, we saw a few new models such as the new A8 or 5-er BMW, or Volvo S60. Nothing ground braking on that side.
Our vote for the BEST STAND goes for PEUGEOT:
But definitely the most fascinating were the concept cars, which we will most likely never see on the road in this form :-(
And finally the star of the show, the national pride of Romania: the new Dacia Duster:
