Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 1 The Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 had more surprises in store than I was expecting. As usual my comments will be from my vantage point seeing the cars mostly as objects of art. Let's start with the Lamborghini Veneno. ...  

Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 2 From massive combustion to near silent whirrrring, we next see the Tesla S. From what I heard of the sales talk they are mostly trying to sell the monster LCD display to distract the driver. The gull-wing version I fo...  

Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 3 Now we come to my favorite car of the salon, the Alpha Romero C4. You can see many design influences such as Pagani and Lotus, but the car is still very Alpha. The planning is for this car to be make in small quantiti...
