But as you'd expect from the plucky upstart and its ...

Artega GT roadster rumored to appear in Geneva 9 months ago on Autoblog

Of all the European auto shows, we enjoy the Geneva Motor Show the most. Not because we get our French food fix or adore the train ride along the lake after a grueling day at the show. No. We love Geneva because of its neutral nature, where no automaker can be considered the "home team" and ...

More intensity: 4th Citroen GT teaser image 1 year ago on Autoblog
