Having spent the first part of last week in Geneva, it would be cruel not to share more pics of the other cars on show .








Here are the rest of the cars covered

The Audi Q2 was one of the key launches. With the EA288 2.0Tdi, enigne, I am a bit confused about the positioning on this car. With smaller engines, not on display, it might make sense at another price point.



Note the wider grill



i20 Style C pillar Blacked out




or white out in this case


Rear end reminds me of the 1st gen Audi A3. Looks different from the rest of the Q's







Nice lower chin detailing

Audi A2 interiors

Interiors are rather spartan compared to the Q3. Virtual cockpit will feature in this small model.













As for rear leg room, your knees have around 0,5 inches to spare compared to ..



an inch of knee room in the Q3

Ronin 2 - The Audi S8 Plus although aging, holds some kind of sinister appeal





A quick look at the Audi R8 V10 Plus

T Cross Cabrio belies the VW's Brezza competitor. Might have a Skoda variant also













Note extra side vent



Slightly dished lower door panels

T Cross Interiors





VW Passat R line -



To distract from the dieselgate. VW focussed on Electric cars

VW Tiguan GTE Concept



How VW do head up display


Under the bonnet of the Golf GTE



VW Budd-e

Alfo Giulia sporty saloon. It looked good and the driving position felt spot on. I hope it drives as well as it looks

Bentley relaunched the Mulsanne with a wider grill







The extended wheelbase was of interest


Note extended door


Fitted luggage for the rear boot





Note the rear sunroof and curtains

The interiors were the place to be! You could literally move in









Now compare the ambience to the rear of the Merc S600 Maybach. No contest. I must admit, the Maybach seats were much more comfortable. My guess is that the Maybach would make a case as a highspeed landjet. The Bentley has a sense of occasion





Back to the drivers seat. the driver does not feel shortchanged.




Carpet lined boot

Fiat Tipo - frankly, I was disappointed, it was bland and looked like another euro-box. Expect it to make its mark as a hire car. Interiors were pretty low rent

Fiat 124 spider and the original. I loved this car. Yes, it is a Mazda MX5 underneath but with the Fiat engine, it could have a character of its own.






The Abarth 1800 - Fiat should make this

Porsche Boxster

The original 718






The new 4 pot Boxter, renamed the 718 for nostaglia. This is the plain vanilla one with a manual box :)















718 S

Total purity

The 911 R - Normally aspirated, manual gears, a pure driving machine!

Bugatti Chiron - $2.5 million worth of 1500 PS. It looks pretty compact in reality

BMW did not have much to show except for some uprated M cars. Their stand was all about the 7

Here is the M760iL . Frankly, it looks evil and I loved the matt brown paintwork











After sitting in the Bentley, this felt like a comfy tent

BMW also had an original 750i on display. My pic never came out. Sit in it and you realise how far interiors have come
