The Geneva Motor Show is akin to a fashion show in Milan or Paris where the very best and most impressive items are shown off. This is where supercars come to be presented to the world and with Europe being the world hub for supercars it’s no wonder so many flock to the center of the continent to be displayed. Even though there are numerous cars offered at this show that most of the world will never be able to afford, there are still several that are available as affordable cars which can be owned by just about any customer. Let’s look at a few of these models and enjoy what most of us can actually drive.

When you drive down the road you typically don’t have to think about the controls in your vehicle. The shifter has the gearing setup the same in nearly every situation because there is legislation which dictates a specific order for the shifting of gears whether the vehicle be a manual or automatic transmission model. This standardization makes it possible for us to feel comfortable getting into a vehicle and enjoying the drive right away without having to learn a whole new system. This works great for the primary controls such as the steering wheel, pedals and gear selectors, but what about the secondary controls?

For race cars that redline is much higher than in any production models which means most of us will never experience what it’s like to take a car to the limits that track cars can reach. Although this is certainly true, there are plenty of awesome cars over the years that will give you a redline that is exciting and fun to challenge. Of course you still need to have some track time in order to reach the redline in almost any car, but when you find some time you can take your car out to the circuit for some great laps you can see exactly what it will do. What car should you have for this; let me help you, here are some production models that have the highest redline that have ever been made.

What do you look for in an SUV? Good price, fun to drive, capabilities, AWD; if these are what you want in your SUV the Murano makes a great choice. Not only does Nissan Murano fit the bill for all these needs it’s also an extremely stylish SUV to give you the ability to have a vehicle that looks amazing along with being one that is great to drive. This SUV allows you to enjoy the features you might expect on a higher model vehicle while giving you a price you can afford in a vehicle you want to drive every day.

When you think of a Porsche model of any kind what typically comes to mind is super sports logic and performance that can’t be beat. This typically comes with Porsche tuning their cars up for more power and capability which makes our favorite sports car brand brings us vehicles that we continually admire and want to drive. It’s this desire to drive that allows Porsche to be a signature brand and offer models that have high prices, but also have some of the best performance we can enjoy on any vehicle on the road.

Actually, this vehicle has four wheels, but it looks like it could ride on two, if those two were extra wide and super supportive. The Lazareth LM 847 is a sports bike that has some uniqueness to it to give us a look at what can be done with the very least amount of protection and sanity.

Often we are under the delusion that vehicles start out here in the US, but with our strict regulations which hamper the development of vehicles we typically don’t see some vehicles until the automaker decides it’s time to enter our market and conform to the restrictions our government puts on automakers. Even our own “Big Three” often take this same approach by either selling vehicles under other names or brands before bringing them here, or by keeping them in the foreign markets for the entire duration of their vehicle life cycle.

It happens every so often that we see twins that are not identical, but fraternal. This is not limited to offspring and their birth, but is also present in the automotive world. You would think two vehicles that are supposed to be part of the same model name and only different by trims would offer a body size and shape that is identical. For most of the automotive world this makes sense if for no other reason than the machinery and equipment needed to make two different body styles is expensive and requires more labor than building several trims from the same body style.

It’s been a hot hatch, it’s been a sedan, it’s been a coupe and it’s been a convertible; the Honda Civic has been one of our favorite cars on the road for over four decades and is still one we love to drive. While the previous version of the Civic was somewhat boring and uninspiring Honda went back to the design table with the new Civic and brought us some seriously improved styling and now its offered once again as a Coupe to give us the sportiness we want from this gorgeous car that we have enjoyed for so many years.

Reaching the largest SUV in any product line often gives us a vehicle that is more of a box on frame and closer to a truck than at any other point in the lineup. For this reason it may be a serious positive that Honda has never built a typical box on frame truck; which means they don’t seem to know what this build would be. Instead of these typical SUVs, when you reach the height of the Honda lineup you will find the Pilot which is the largest vehicle in the Honda arsenal, but it’s not like other large vehicles.
