With its first show in 1905, the Geneva Auto Show has more than 100 years of history. Its location in Switzerland represents neutral ground for automakers from around the world to show off new models and concepts. The Geneva show isn't focused on any one particular area but covers the entire automotive industry, with production cars, design previews, and accessories. We're looking forward to seeing all the interesting cars that will be on display, including the Dodge Hornet concept, the Nissan Terranaut concept, and the Ferrari 599 GTB. We will be posting slide shows, blog entries, and video from the show.AUTO SHOW SPOTLIGHT
