Thumbs down Saw Nothing Much - Geneva MotorShow!

Compared to Frankfurt MotorShow, it was a waist of time and effort for me. I am not so sure what I was looking for, but the wow factor was not there.

The Show was not ready for the Media, I was walking around, triping over cables and un-fixed red carpets. Most cars were covered, so it does not get dust/dirt from their next door competitor who is putting up his fake Foam Mountain!

Anyway, with my frustration and disappointment vanished as I saw some snow for the first time in my life. Somewhere north of Geneva, in the france territories. Driving my SixT rent a car, BMW 320i Diesel, Quite amazing experience..

Here is my Photos from Todays 1 hr trip in Geneva Motor Show

Let me know what you think of Geneva Motor Show? Which is the best? Frankfurt, Detroit, Japan? or Maybe Dubai

It looks like you went a day or two too early. Still, it must be better than 90% of motor shows. I mean Tokyo's full of wacked out Japanese crap. Geneva's so much more glamourous. (when it's ready, I guess)

I can't speak for Detroit or Frankfurt, but Los Angeles is pretty interesting, although they screwed up their schedule. Anyways, LA was one of 3 places Bugatti officially decided to bring the Veyron, so it's pretty good.

6 years ago, there wasn't a show on the planet that could top the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) but these days, I think Frankfurt is likely the best show out there.

The thing about Detroit is you will mingle with auto executives from around the world if you are there ~ahem~ early, and have some fascinating conversations.

but the execution at Detroit is about 50-60% of what it was in the early 2000's... a sign, i fear, of what is to come in the next decade from the world's auto makers.

thanks for the pics

Bummer that the show didn't turn it on for you.. Will you go back to see some of the cars that were still under wraps?
