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. The cars shown here are once again merely design studies, and won't necessarily be placed into series production.

It just wouldn't be a Geneva Motor Show without a wild Mansory-tuned vehicle - and sure enough, the tuning firm revealed it'll bring a customized McLaren MP4-12C super car to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show next week.

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.

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.

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.

Audi has been deliberately rolling out the latest evolution of design chief Walter de'Silva's new style across its models, starting with the A8 flagship sedan, and on down the line to the A6, A5 coupe, and A4. Now it's the 2013 Audi A3's turn to shine at the 2012 Geneva show, and the changes make the all-new A3 look right at home with the rest of Audi's refreshed lineup.

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.

We've already heard quite a bit about Bentley's SUV project. Bentley chairman and CEO Wolfgang Durheimer has excitedly talked up the luxury SUV for some time now, shedding light on various details regarding the new project. At the annual Volkswagen Group Night extravaganza before the start of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Durheimer finally gets to show off his new baby in the form of a concept version of a possible new SUV, the Bentley EXP 9 F Concept.

At long last, the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet may have a competitor. Land Rover is apparently showing a Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in early March.
