Tata Prima (w/ Gallery)

Pininfarina didn't show a new car at this year's Geneva Motor Show, but there was a surprise new model on the Tata stand adorned with the famed Carrozzeria's signature. Called the Tata Prima (meaning 'first' in Italian), the luxury sedan concept is the first official project of the Tata-Pininfarina cooperation. Based on the platform of the Tata Indigo - the first Indian sedan - the Prima is an indication of how future Tata sedans could look.

Cadillac ATS

The Cadillac ATS is an all-new, lightweight, rear-wheel drive sedan that aims to take the fight to the dominant BMW 3-Series in the compact premium segment. The ATS gains the latest interpretation of Cadillac's ‘Art & Science' design language, building on the recent, bigger XTS' aesthetics. Fortunately, the ATS' proportions are far more appealing than its awkward bigger brother, with short overhangs, a long wheelbase and wide tracks giving it a good stance.
