80th Geneva Autoshow 2010

So far i have seen one thread about this magnificent show and it only concerns supercars (in General Automotive), so i thought I might deliver you some "general" pictures. I hardly took pics of cars, this year I realised how much I don't like autoshows. Static cars that you can't see in movement/can't drive are not my cup of tea. But indeed, it gives you a general overview of the vehicles. I liked the SLS, the driving position is great. Probably a great GT to daily drive. The 458 italia is good too, driving position similar to the Evora but slightly better. I also liked alot the Grancabrio from Maserati, except the trunk size, they could have copied the foldable trunk space system from ze germans (see the new E class cabrio). Disappointment: AM RS V12 Vantage, driving position sucks, the central armrest pushes you to take the gear knob from above (like on a tiptronic car) and I like to take it from below sometimes when driving sporty. AM Rapide is way too tiny inside, you feel like in a tank. For a 4 door the windshield surface is really small. Fisker Karma prototype is very badly finished. I hope they will change the quality of materials in the production version.


I did the first press afternoon day (2-7pm) when some cars were still missing and the autoshow was in works, then I was invited at 10:30PM by Mansory to roll in with their cars inside the halls and I attended also the two proper press days (2nd and 3rd of march).

Feel free to post your pictures of cars as i don't have many.
