Geneva motor show 2015 highlights

Gallery of the new metal and motor trends from this year's Geneva motor show

This is the car that stole the limelight from Ferrari: the new Porsche Cayman GT4. The Skoda Superb may have been the car of the show in terms of what Irish buyers are likely to be able to afford, but the Cayman GT4 is the car we'd really want. 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds makes motoring mouth's water, but we are assured it's as meek to drive in city traffic as the regular Cayman. The new arrival at the top of my Lotto-winning wishlist.

Away from the supercars there was plenty of practical metal on display, including the new BMW seven-seat 2-Series, which should certainly prove a hit with Irish family buyers when it arrives later this year. The tyre marks are a bit much though as this is certainly no sports car. Overall the message from Geneva was that the passion is back in the industry and after years of austerity the motoring public may be ready to have a bit more fun.
