IM is part of SAIC like MG. The interior quality seems great. German car makers should be worried.

Must admit the MG 7 + 9 looked very classy, not what we originally got from MG just a couple of years ago . Legacy automakers are really going to have to buck their ideas up .

The undisputed star of the show is the BYD U8 it is by far the most advance car in the world. Also China's CATL to supply car batteries and electric motors to Nissan and Renault. So Basicly Renault is using Chinese tech.

The only cars I would like to see in this show is BYD. Thank you.

Great walk round mate. Really impressed with MG’s cars tbf!

Thanks for showing us around Jim, such a shame motor shows ain't what they used to be in the day.

You show the view that WE would get at one of these, with a bit of critical viewing, priceless. We can all just look at Johnny's LBS coverage for curated snapshots! Love the MG 7/9 footage, Quality uplift, also why no MG4 Estate there? Keep it up.

Cheers Jimbo great walk round of the Geneva show I remember being on my paper round ( best part of 45 years ago ) seeing the first of the Matra Ranchero thinking how cool I thought it was😂😂😂

It would be really ironic if the MG7 and MG9 don’t come to the UK considering that MG was once a British brand!

Excellent coverage. Don't apologise about the footage, you did brilliantly.

Jim i love the one man band approach you do. Are the big motor shows finished. The web is so much cheaper

Renault 5,the first electric car I would seriously consider buying / leasing ( will await your advice on that choice)

Loved the walk around! You made a good point about used EVs vs the Spring. If you’re in the market for a used EV hatchback like a Zoe, Corsa-e, etc. I suspect you’ll be seeing prices fall once the Spring is on sale and the small used EV market adjusts.

I think the Manufacturers that bothered to turn up shows their intention to make an impact on the EV scene. Manufacturers that didn't, proves their full commitment to selling BEVs just isn't there! Ps. My Mum used to own a Matra Rancho.... Loved being reminded of that. Thanks.!

Those three bumps on the roof are actually lazer radars for auto-pilot and LDWS, very common seeing those on Chinese EVs.

Thanks for a great video. Don't apologise, it did everything we needed and more. Keep it up.

Thanks Jim, great job!

Some lovely metal there Jim the I recon the mk1 Landrover discovery took inspiration from the Matra Simca Rancho

Crazy how no German brands at the Geneva motor show. I think these companies are in a total tailspin as far as the EV future is concerned. Probably not helped by what the EU is trying to dictate. 🤔

Thanks for that great report Jim! Why didn't Renault launch a new 5 years ago, they almost went bust a few years back.

Thanks for sharing this Jim. Really enjoyed seeing that lot. Loving the classics and supercars. Especially my all time fav - F40! No wonder all I've seen on social media the last few days is the new Renault 5, what with the 'relatively' small turn out of manufacturers overall. It is a wicked looking thing though. I like the new Dacia logos 👍🏼 Get yourself that light pole and she wouldn't stand a chance 🤭

👍👍👍 Nicely done. Thanks Jim

Hi very nice video I enjoyed watching, nowhere near as bad from photography view well done. Yes a poor turnout from Europe's manufacturing was hoping a view of Peugeot and Renault new EV range. Thought MG stand there range of new models very impressive. Keep the good work up you have a excellent channel.

Great report and actually makes me regret not making the trip to Geneva. Very disappointing to see so little support from European manufacturers - perhaps they didn’t want to be compared with the Chinese brands who seem to not just made a big leap forward but whose quality appears close to the premium German marques at lower prices. It was however telling that Renault felt confident to display their range. With the Megane E-Tech, the new Scenic and the forthcoming 5 Renault look to be on a roll and of the mainstream European manufacturers the one that really is creating some exciting EVs. It is going to be difficult to compete with the Chinese EVs on price, although the differential may be narrowed with higher tariffs, so the Europeans need to make their cars more exciting - not as boring as the Stellantis or dare I say VW Group lineups.

Thanks

Jim great video, nothing wrong with the quality. The MGs and IMs look interesting, thanks for the preview. 🚗

Excellent tour of the diminished show I’ve watched three vids of show and yours is by far the best keep up the good work

Great insight into the show and thanks for highlighting some of the lesser known brands. I liked the wandering round being there style, reminds me of visiting many trade shows in the past 👍

If you’d given me a bit longer notice Jim I would have come and held the light bar for you! 😂

Great walk around. Chinese takeover other than the Renault 5 being the thing that really excites

U8 anyday. a proper revolutionary SUV

MG9 looks incredible! When does that go on sale? MG7 outstanding as well.

Great walkaround! Looks like the Chinese are changing the world order of the automotive industry. Perhaps that's why Audi, MB, BMW etc. stayed away?

Great video Jim. Some interesting cars there but some that really are a waste of metal IMHO.

Very enjoyable Jim, the Renault 5 looks grand and the MGs taking it up another couple of levels 👍👍

You did very well, thank you very much for this.

Thanks Jim. I'm looking forward to seeing the Renault 5 & MG Cyberster in the flesh

Thanks jimbo

The MG 7 is like a prettier version of the Audi A7

I had the original 5 GT Turbo…I think the new 5 is the only ev that would temp in to buying one

really enjoyed it. You did a great job :)

Good job, Jim!

Good content and very interesting review of what was a scaled-down version of a motor show. Look forward to more car news from you.

Really good observation.

Really good vid Jim, I know what these shows are like for public, Paris and Frankfurt, crazy, Really like that MG7 and the 9, surprise a few other Chinese brands weren't there, Nio and Xpeng to name a couple, hopefully see a few at Goodwood this year!

Great effort, very interesting

The German brands were probably aware of the absolutely outstanding products that were exhibited by the Chinese manufacturers and didn't want to embarrass themselves! What of JLR, were they there? Amazing how small the Geneva show is, it used to be the world's premier car show.

Just wanted to say that you did a great job on this under very challenging circumstances and produced some interesting and informative content. Thank you.

I was there with my dji pocket 3 too, and I saw myself in your video as one of the flies on the horse poo 😅 20:21

Pretty alarming the decline in size of the event when you think that the industry is going through it's biggest evolution in it's history it might be the other way. Just shows the money in agriculture when Agritechnica in Germany and Lamma at the NEC are jam packed and require more space evey year

Those big brands dare not come😊

BYD names car in Chinese dynasty, Tang is one of the strongest dynasties in history the start of Silk Road trade route, there’s nothing unfortunate about that name.

Rather enjoy the gonzo style and honest chat

I think the "Car of the Year" is always the car that has no interest and is totally boring! Thus calling it "Car of the Year" means the Joe Public doesn't have to think, they can just go to the dealer and buy it..

Ora worked out that calling a car a " funky cat " put UK buyers off . Wonder if BYD are taking note!.

So why are German brands, Japanese brands and Stellantis boycotting the Geneva Motor Show? Can someone aware me?

Realy I like it

Don’t moan mate you’ve done a great job👍👍👍

Jean Todt ex Ferrari & FIA president Around the 21 minute mark you completely didn’t recognise him 😂

It’s a shame the way most shows have gone. Was in the last Paris show and much the same. A real disappointment.

21:29 Is that Jean Todt?

👍👍👍👍

byd❤

最最关键的一点是，你看到的所有中国车，都是量产车，而不是概念车，中国人就是这么实在

Great video 👍. You get the feeling that a wave Chinese brands is coming across the world. I wonder how, many of the mainstream brands we know in the UK will still be here in 10 years time. 🤔

Duran Duran 80s , wish we could go back to then . Question, when India , china , america won’t give up fossil fuels , doesn’t matter what we do in england, plus how’s electric made , and how much co2 goes into making an electric car plus transporting ? Just so some aresole can drive down the road thinking that they and everyone else thinks their saving the planet !

Every body I know including me , already wanted new Renault 5 in petrol and not electric. It’s very big downside

@21:30 michelle yeoh's husband, lol

👍👍👍

Was there this year the car of the year felt cheap on the inside

Seems to be more people looking than new metal 👀

👍

Anyone actually showing/pushing hydrogen offerings?.....

Is it avoiding

MG 😂😂😂😂 oh boy, NIO will make tons of money after they sue them for stealing their designs...

I went to the show for the first time…. What a disappointment

No germans huh

When the Chinese are here, they are scared and run away quick LMAO

Who would have thought. Chinese car costing over £100k.

Inios?....Sir Jim not taking the opportunity to showcase his latest monstrosity?...

What a disappointing show, only 2 halls used. Only good bit was getting to see R5.

Your jacket makes you look like you're from the SS.

Visited today (28th Feb) after booking flights months ago. The show was terrible , due to so many abscent big names. The classics and the new Renault 5 were the high point but the many electric ~Chinese were a big switch off - seen one seen them all! they were all the same . Shame on you Geneva!

The EV sale has almost stopped.The interest has cooled down . Retro cars have been an around for many years and has faded away! I think that the retro waveMG is finished !Stop your senseless adverts.Irritating ! MG ? But it is any good at this price ? Chinese EV is not my kind of tea .They are state supported from the Chinese government ,unfair competition to the European EV production !

The only pure electric car company in 5 years from now is Tesla, I think. Great to see some of the companies are waking up and focusing on Hybrids which I believe is the real future of cars. I can be wrong but let us see what happens.

Chinese 4x4 anyday , id buy , MG i dont like , lucid , bin it , horrible
