5 Hottest Cars at the Geneva Motor Show

[1]At the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, carmakers showed off their newest attractions despite continued worries about the economy.
The Wall Street Journal[2] reports that — in spite of the economic turnaround — many auto executives think 2013 will still be a difficult year.
“We thought there would be a little bit of an improvement at the start of the year but we haven’t seen that. I do think we will hit bottom this year but not in the first quarter,” General Motors (NYSE:GM[3]) Vice Chair Stephen Girsky said in a press conference.
Still, some great cars were showed off at the show. Here’s a few[4]:
- Ashton Martin’s Vanquish[5]
- Alfa Romeo’s (PINK:FIATY[6]) 4C[7]
- Chevrolet’s Corvette Stingray Convertible[8]
- Bentley’s Flying Spur[9]
- Ferrari’s LaFerrari[10]
