Maserati is committed to introduce a new model at every international auto show. That’s got to be a challenge for a specialty marque, like Maserati. So some shows will apt to get the “minor” revision reveals, and such was the case at Geneva. The new model on display was the GranTurismo S Automatic Continue reading

Alfa Romeo chose Geneva to debut the mid-cycle updates to its beautiful 159 series of sedans and wagons. The car line is Alfa’s entry in Europe’s high-volume C-segment but sales are wanting; the new Giulia is expected to replace the 159 sometime late next year. Continue reading

After sitting in the stands for 20 years, reknowned BMW tuner, Alpina, returns to the starting grid in 2009, and will do so with a very tricked out 6 Series — the B6 GT3. Alpina will field two race cars in the FIA GT3 European Championships and selected 24-hour endurance races (we’re guessing, but the latter looks like Nurburgring and Le Mans). Continue reading

The smallest car in GM’s repertoire was completely redesigned, and bowed in its new duds in Geneva as the Chevrolet Spark. It will hit the European market in 2010, replacing the Chevrolet Matiz. Presumably, we North American folk will get Spark about a year later, as a 2011 model. The European model will be powered by a 1.2-litre engine, capable of going 100 km on less than 5 litres of gas.

GM is not too sure about its long-term commitment to Opel, but it was all lovey dovey for the couple when the Opel version of the Chevrolet Volt took centre stage at Geneva. When it hits European streets in 2011, the Opel Ampera will be the continent’s first extended-range electric vehicle. (In the U.K. the Ampera will sell as a right-drive model under the Vauxhall brand.) Continue reading

Technically this is still a concept, but it can’t be far off what BMW will soon offer, as an additional model in the 5 Series range. The roofline is very “coupe-like” — the prime indicator that this vehicle is taking aim at a very important, developing demographic: mature folks who don’t need an SUV or crossover anymore, but are unwilling to bend over to get into low-slung sedans.
