General Geneva Show 2010

[Exoticaholic]

Hello all,

I was at the Geneva Show earlier this week for three days; one of the best I can remember in a long time. This is my 26th show.

I spent a lot of time looking at the new 900cc twin-cylinder engine and also the installation in a 500 Lounge. It was under a large engine cover so I could not ascertain how much space it has taken up in the engine bay. Also the Abarth 500C certainly had an impression on me - I loved it! I am very hopeful but certain it will be my next car although the Alfa Romeo Mito Multiair with its pricing is complicating this!

Pictures on 500 from Fiat, Abarth, Rinspeed, Hamann and Gasmobil.

Looking at the size of the block relative to the alt/compressor, i'd say it all fits under the slightly raised area of the plastic cover.

I see Rinspeed and Hamann have ruined quite a few now.

I quite like certain aspects of the Hamann car, but they didn't seem to know quite when to stop with it.
