Geneva Motor Show 2012 Preview

Geneva Motor Show 2012 With the 2012 Geneva Motor Show now upon us, we take a look at what you can expect to find at the biggest Motor Show – in the world.

We’ve reported over the last few months on what you can expect to arrive at Geneva, from the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta to the Hyundai i20 facelift for 2012.

Not driven it at its maximum speed, but just driven period.
