Not to be outdone, Ford will unveil the first production models based on next year’s new Focus platform – the Mazda3 and new Volvo S40 sedan. The 2003 Show is also a significant event for BMW, with the debut of the new 5-Series sedan and 6-Series coupe, while the X5 is updated for 2004 and joined by the smaller, all-new X3. Europe’s other premium makers are celebrating with a bumper crop of new models too: Mercedes will show the production version of the SLR McLaren; Jaguar will show the X-Type Estate and Maserati will return to the luxury sedan fold with the premiere of the new Quattroporte.
Leading the concept car debuts from Europe are the Citroen C-Airlounge, Renault Be-Bop, Peugeot 407 Elixir, SEAT Altea, and Saab 9-3 Sporthatch, together with surprises from Lancia with the Fulvia Coupe concept and Skoda with the Roomster. Japanese makers are also strongly featured with concepts such as the Toyota CS&S, Nissan Dunehawk, Mazda Kusabi, Mitsubishi ‘i’, and Suzuki S2.
