2009 Geneva Auto Show Photo Gallery
Top AutoSpies.com News
Another month and another major auto show. Geneva is a picturesque city and the sites and sounds are unique, the Geneva Motor Show was no exception to that aura. As soon as Agent001 landed, he took us all on the journey of a lifetime through our exclusive photo ticker. Later in the evening while everyone else in the media was content to mingle with the crowds, our favorite agent snuck in BEFORE the show and started feeding you pictures a day early. You were on the front row for this classic event.

While every show has a debut to call unique, the Geneva Motor Show took us all by surprise with the jaw dropping Infiniti Essence concept. This visually stunning car took many off guard and put the competition on notice. When we heard a little later that this hybrid concept might become a reality sometime in 2010, many of you were stunned. I certainly hope that Lexus announces LF-A production sometime soon, because if they wait any longer the ship might sail without them.

Speaking of Lexus, we knew it would happen some time but this soon? I’m talking about a Museum to tribute the brand. Yes, Lexus seems to be on the verge of following the Germans with a temple for the loyal fans. Now will a Lexus museum set the standard for cutting edge design like the German counterparts, or will they go for a more reserved approached? We hope to find out sooner rather than later.

We have devoted a lot of time to Hyundai as of late. First was their assault against the Lexus LS with the Genesis sedan. Lexus fans weren’t too happy with that one. This time the Genesis coupe proved it was more than up to the challenge by taking on and defeating the Infiniti G37 coupe in a head comparison. Insult was probably added to injury when Agent001 queried Infiniti on just how this could happen. Our request was met with silence, no doubt they too were surprised they had been one upped. Who will be next?
