2009 Geneva auto show, with an English accent
Stories from the 2009 Geneva auto show posted by CNET U.K.
At last week's Geneva auto show, we posted photos and wrote up details of the latest cars and concepts. But if you want to experience the show with an English accent, our CNET U.K. colleagues were on hand as well. Here is a selection of their coverage:
