The Peugeot 407, which appeared in concept form at the last major car show, Frankfurt in September, is an attempt by the French company to break away from a European repetitive, derivative, Russian-doll styling.
The trouble was that the car was powered by a 9 litre, V16 gas gobbler, and it is hard to see just how experimenting with a 9 litre behemoth furthers the cause of car manufacturing, even if it does have "an interesting boot arrangement too, part of which folds out to create a picnic table".

 The Geneva Motor Show - A Motor Show of transition
While manufacturers are drawing a line under their difficult year in 2003 and expressing their confidence in a brighter future by flooding Geneva Palexpo with novelties, the Geneva Motor Show itself is preparing for a double celebration in a year's time: its centenary and the 75th anniversary of the international show.
But not all manufacturers were affected in the same way, for various reasons: the variety and wealth of their markets, their capitalization and therefore their ability to invest in R&D, the depth and breadth of their range, the quality of their alliances, the flexibility of their production or even their ability to renew their models.
You just need to wander down the aisles of Geneva Palexpo to discover the wealth of novelties unveiled at this 74th international Motor Show to be convinced: confidence has returned and manufacturers and importers alike are once again experiencing the stirring of a certain optimism.
