Widely known for its decadent chocolates, impenetrable banks and a penchant for sitting on the sidelines when war breaks out, Switzerland is also home to the annual Geneva Motor Show, a multinational gathering of all things automotive. With participation from car builders big and small, Geneva has a more diverse look and feel than the annual shows in Detroit and Frankfurt. So whether you're interested in European minicars, Japanese concepts or good ol' American performance, there's always a little bit of something for everybody in Geneva.

This year's show had plenty of interesting new models led by a strong contingent of German entries. Mercedes-Benz led the way with its fully redesigned SLK roadster, a refreshed C-Class sedan and the final production version of its sleek CLS "coupe". BMW unveiled an M5 "concept" and a new 5 Series wagon while its Mini subsidiary showed off a drop-top version of its wildly popular Cooper coupe. Rounding out the deluge of German product was an all-new A6 sedan from Audi and the Concept C from Volkswagen.

Chrysler also grabbed some unexpected attention with its new high-performance Crossfire SRT-6, while Chevrolet unveiled the latest Corvette convertible. New concepts from Mazda, Rolls Royce and Toyota were crowd pleasers as well. Keep clicking to get all the latest details and photos from the floor.
