Lots of interesting cars:
I just posted about a new Auris hybrids (2 of 'em). Surprisingly subdued for Toyota these days.

Ok, ok, I know people really wanna hear about...
Bugatti Chiron Sport (not "Super" Sport though!). 40lbs lighter and supposedly focused on handling. Meh. Hope the Super Sport looks more like the Vision GT concept.

Aston Martin already showing off hardcore track only Valkyrie, the AMR Pro. Insane, in a good way.

Speaking of Aston Martin, they also showed off an electric Lagonda concept. I like it but its kinda typical (super long and swoopy, yes even more so than the Lagondas they've made). The gullwing window is stupid though, since it still have a side window underneath.

Rimac (the electric hypercar), Concept 2. Looks ok, its not bad, but doesn't really do much and the back end makes me think BMW i8. Performance is insane, 0-60 1.85s, 0-100 4.3s, top speed 258mph. Oh and hope they get Richard Hammond to sign every single fire extinguisher.

Koenigseggs showing two Regeras, one with new "Ghost" aero package. I like that one, the blue on blue with other blue interior is a bit much. Koenigsegg says the Regera should top the Agera (that hit 284mph with 278mph two way average).

Toyota showing off a Gazoo Racing (there's talk they might release Supra as a Gazoo and not Toyoto...please, no) concept that previews the new Supra. I like the looks, although not sure Supra fans will love it, sounds a little underwhelming too (inline 6 turbo making ~335hp supposedly). Not terrible (and let's see price), just expected more for some reason. The new BMW Z4 looks ok too (shared development), but again, a little underwhelming for the looks. And it has a base 4 cylinder that's even weaker.

Speaking of BMW, how about a Concept M8 Gran Coupe. Looks really nice (although that last bit of sideglass is a little too squared off I think).

Calling Jules, this a future car? AMG GT 4-Door

McLaren had a racing version of their new Senna, which looks kinda hideous (I'm also not buying their "everything was for performance, WTF is there glass cutouts in the lower doors for then?). Should be fast. The 720S is wowing people with its performance (and it looks pretty good). McLaren has a 3 seat grand touring ultimate performance care in development too (its a P1 with more power, more luxury, 3 seats with central drivers seat, but its not about outright performance, should still offer a lot though). Back on point though, I do like the paint job here more than the normal Senna models they've shown.

Don't think Ferrari was gonna be left out, they showed their 488 Pista (hardcore 488). I like the looks the most of the 458 and newer series, I think. That front end looks a little weird, the back end looks almost shockingly understated in comparison). Should give the 720S a run for its money.

Porsche showed off one of those rugged "off-road" wagons (no, not crossover or SUVs), based on the Mission-E. Looks ok, but wonky because of the rugged aspects. Mission-E based vehicles should be pretty good, they look better than the non-911 stuff Porsche has been making.
https://www.carscoops.com/2018/03/porsche-lifts-veils-off-mission-e-cross-turismo-geneva/
Range Rover SV Coupe. Nice, I guess, somehow looks a little awkward to me, and I like the styling bits more on the newer stuff like the Velar, which I think would also fit a coupe better. Also, uh, $330,000 starting price.
https://www.carscoops.com/2018/03/range-rovers-new-sv-coupe-240000-statement/
Jaguar iPace EV finally fully shown. Looks ok, should be nice. They claim it'll be quicker than Tesla Model X (other then the P100D with Ludicrous Mode), and be cheaper (with bit less range though I think?).

Hey everybody, Lexus has a new hideous crossover. I'm sure it'll sell because its a Lexus compact crossover. Styling wise I almost even like some aspects of it.

Subaru shows off another VIZIV concept. Looks good, and supposedly the next WRX is gonna look like the VIZIV Performance concept (not this one), so maybe this previews a future Legacy?

There were actually a bunch of other cars (couple of megahorsepower supercars, and other stuff, think VW was showing an EV sedan that should preview their...EV Sedan coming out in a couple of years). Oh Audi A6 (like it but I mean you probably have a decent idea of what it looks like, might be surprised by the squared of fender haunches though), think Hyundai had some EVs/hybrids.
