Just arrived at the Geneva Motor Show proper and it is too early to give you any detail yet, but a few pictures should get you going, write Trish Whelan & Brian Byrne.
What about this little VE microvan concept, the Bulli, for instance? Brings back memories of the 60s in a whole new way.
Or Skoda's Vision D, a concept that looks rather like a VW Scirocco, but is meant to present the Czech brand's new design cues (the car, guys, the car!).
At the other end of the financial and other scales, this Bentley Continental GT catches attention if for no other reason than the colour. Gold is apt.
As promised, Hyundai has its new i40 medium-large car there in wagon form only for the moment. But once again, it illustrates how well the Koreans are coming along in the quality and design quarters.
And the same brand had this Curb urban SUV concept, actually a showcar for Hyundai's telematics and in car communications ideas.
Opel's production Ampera extended range EV is finally shown after what seems like endless concepts. In Ireland next year.
Just to show how committed they are to their hybrid technology, Toyota is showcasing its Yaris hybrid concept, actually almost production ready and will be on sale in the second half of next year. The concept also shows an edgier look for the next generation Yaris, which sits in the fastest growing car segment in Europe.
That's enough for now. More in a couple of hours.
