Reporters from around the globe once again descend on Geneva this week for what has become one of the largest and most important auto shows in Europe. For the last 76 years, Geneva has hosted significant debuts from virtually every manufacturer around the world, serving as a neutral environment where nationalistic favoritism doesn’t exist (except, perhaps, for local builder RinSpeed). This year, showgoers will see concepts and production vehicles ranging from an Alfa Romeo Spider from Italy to the Volvo S80 sedan from Sweden – and a plethora of others in between. And while the Geneva Motor Show naturally focuses on vehicles for the European market, there are always a few cars that will see North American shores in one form or another. For 2006, crossovers seem to be the big news and Geneva debuts adhere to this trend thanks to new introductions from Audi, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota, and Volkswagen. See these, and other expected production debuts, in this preview-style photo gallery.
