Geneva Auto Salon: First Part

Well, to cover the Geneva Auto Show I'll need at least two posts, maybe more, so this is only the first part. Long story short, this was far and away the main reason I decided to go to Geneva when I did.
This was a fantastic, but overwhelming experience! There were so many people there, and so many exhibitors that it was impossible to see everything.  This picture shows a small portion of the exhibition hall, but hopefully it can give you and idea of the magnitude of this show. Exhibitors come from all over the world to show off their latest wares under the spotlights of the Palexpo Center.


There were many fascinating cars to see, including the world debuts of the Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 650S, and the Koenigsegg One:1. There were all of the usual suspects, such as the VW AG, BMW Group, GM, Renault, Citroen, Fiat, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, many other major manufacturers. In addition, tuners such as Techart, Ruf, Klassen, and others showed off their latest creations. Geneva also attracts some unusual creators, such as Rinspeed, who showed off an autonomous car at this year's show.

Looks like there will be at least two more posts needed to cover this show! Hopefully they'll be up this week.
