Glamour is the focus of the 76th International Motor Show at Geneva. The press site uses this word to define the event, and describes a scenario that likens each automotive premiere to the attitude of supermodels as they strut the catwalk and display the latest fashionable attire.
"Each spring the new edition of the Geneva Motor Show puts the latest models on stage. The public is waiting impatiently, the manufacturers present them proudly, and the Show offers them an ideal rostrum. One cannot help drawing a parallel with the great fashion shows. Our theme picks up these ideas, while conveying the deliberately dynamic and avant-garde orientation of the Show: the automotive avant-garde."
The novelty of the 'automotive avant-garde' is found among the many unusual concept cars presented at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, and the elegant air of the glamorous fashion show can also be found surrounding the many European production models that will debut. Hundreds and hundreds of vehicles are packed into the six halls that house the annual International event, ranging from tiny little micro cars designed to dart through ancient Eurpean byways, to sophisticated concept vehicles built to display emerging technologies that may make their way into upcoming production models.
