Volkswagen must have a case of deja vu: although it displayed a batch of one-off Up! concept cars at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, the automaker is doing the exact same thing for this year's Geneva Motor Show.

Fresh off its Detroit release of the Pathfinder concept, Nissan's set to launch another refreshed SUV - albeit this one isn't likely to show up in our market any time soon.

The first-generation Kia Cee'd ushered in a new design language for Kia in Europe, and it looks as if history is about to repeat itself. The next-generation Cee'd, which is slated to debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, appears to push the design envelope even further.

Hyundai has showed off photos of its new i30 Wagon that will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The all-new wagon will join the i30 hatchback in Hyundai's European lineup later this year.

With luxury compact offerings like the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series gaining traction, Mercedes-Benz is hoping to claim a bigger piece of the action with its all-new Mercedes-Benz A-Class. When the vehicle eventually arrives in the U.S., it may very well be the most value-packed hatch to ever wear the three-pointed star.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is unquestionably one of the most amazing supercars ever produced, what with its ferocious 12-cylinder engine and menacing raging-bull design.

The answer comes in the form of the Aventador J, a unique roadster making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

We've already heard quite a bit about Bentley's SUV project.
