The Geneva Motor Show, held on neutral territory in Switzerland in the spring, always produces a bumper crop of new models, and this year's is no exception. Among the most expensive cars, Rolls Royce showed an updated Phantom and Ferrari the new F12 Berlinetta, and the main premium brands were well represented with new models, too. Mercedes had the new SL roadster while BMW showed off the Gran Coupe, a four-door version of the 6-Series and a rival for the Mercedes CLS and Jaguar XF. The Jaguar XF is not itself a new model, but could be seen at Geneva for the first time in Sportbrake estate form. Combined with last year's facelift and the availability of new four-cylinder diesel engine options, the Sportbrake should keep the XF fresh for a few more years yet.
