The Geneva Motor show March 2005

Well the Geneva motor show is almost upon us, I'm going so it will be interesting to see what the manufactures have on display I hope to see a few new Audi's possibly the RS4 and hopefully another concept showing us the design direction the new TT. I think BMW will show a Hot 1 series, after the announcement of the 130i I do hope they follow it with an M version...

Other German manufacturers that might be displaying interesting cars will be VW and the new R32/R36, Porsche and the new 997 GT3, and the Cayman the new Coupe based on the Boxster. Mercedes will have a brace of new models on display, the ML, B Class amongst others, I hope to see some new AMG offerings too, possibly a E63?...we shall see.

The Americans will no doubt display some kind of mini hummer H3 I think and possibly some sportier Chrysler/Dodge offerings. But my main interest will be the Corvette, looks good on paper so it will be nice to see it in the flesh.

I'm not really interested in anything French, I think they have been off the boil for a while now.

The Japanese....please show us the new Toyota Supra...pretty please!! Lexus will have a fair amount of new models on display, the new IS range the new GS range and a tasty looking super car.. I expect Honda to show off its sporting prowess as they expect a good year from its F1 team......yawnTalking of F1 I expect Ferrari to display the awesome looking F430 Spyder..

Others I'm keen to see are the baby Aston V8, the Range Rover Sport, the Pagani Zonda F, the Focus RS and any others that are likely to raise an eyebrow. I’ll post pics when I return...
