We obsessively covered the 2015 Geneva Motor Show

That’s a wrap, folks! We’re ready to tie a bow on yet another successful Geneva Motor Show, and as you can see in our roundup below, there was an absolute ton of hot new metal to “ooh” and “aah” over at this year’s expo. (In fact, Geneva was so brimming with goodness this year, you’ll see a few more stories trickle in over the next day. Watch this space.) Needless to say, we’re pretty spent, but we’ve thoroughly enjoyed bringing all of this to you over the past two days.

The wonderful thing about the Geneva Motor Show is that there really is something for everyone. From futuristic concepts to outrageous supercars to one-off oddities to, well, golf carts, the Geneva show hits pretty much every end of the automotive enthusiast space. That’s why this show, year after year, remains one of our absolute favorites.
