Geneva Motor Show

Almost forgot about the new Nissan Hi Cross Concept....

Slim headlights anybody? Large front end? etc.

What in the world is that Bentley and why does it have a Bentley badge on it. It looks like a bus.

Also, is that meant to be the Porsche Macan? Are the rear tail lights MEANT to be on the side of the car?

Interesting!

Both BMW x4 and Porsche Cajun (Q5) are potential upcoming rivals of Evoque. Looking forward to trade in my evoque with of of these.

Ford Explorer sold in USA carry some genes from LR, obviously both are same companies.

No doubt in US & Canada we have more cute and luxurious cars then Europe. Who cares about diesel when gas is so cheap.

Hmm. Interesting point of views there. Petrol or gas is actually more expensive than diesel here in the UK by the way though I'm not sure what your point is.

I can't believe that your looking forward to trading in a brand new car as well? Not sure why you can't take pleasure in owning this amazing car now and not just look forward to what you might own next?

Also - more luxurious cars in the US than in Europe? Emmm, Bentley? Jag? Porsche? BMW? Rolls Royce? etc.

Cute....Mini? Fiat 500?

I could go on.

Good Lord how can they get their designs so galactically wrong. That Bentley is just horrific!

The Bentley is horrendous! It looks like something designed in the mid 90's. It won't be out for 3 years but it already looks dated. What are they thinking?

Have you ever been to Europe?

I suspect that the Bentley is aimed fair and square at the Chinese market and certainly won't go very far off road without major damage to those bling alloys

The Chinese luxury car market while booming isn't where the bulk of luxury cars are going. The US, EU, Middle East etc account for far more market share than China. I doubt they are making this car solely to sell it in China where it will cost 500-600k after taxes. If this car doesn't sell globally it will be a failure. That said, I'm hoping this is just a concept and the final production version will be a lot different.

China has their Rolls Royce, "GEELY". lol

I mean to refer to these NA autos Caddi , Lexus , Infinity, Acura , Buick and do on.

PS: X3, X5, ML GL etc are also considered North America's locally built cars.

Bentley is terrible, outlander looks bland , Cajun looks a wierd shape only offset with big wheels but have to say the X4 looks really nice and would certainly consider as trade in on wife's car in few years.

P.S my ed4 delivery has gone back two weeks to the 19th march[/i]
