We take a look at what you can expect to see at this year’s (2010) Paris Motor Show – mondial de l’automobile 2010 - which starts on 2nd October.
The Paris Motor Show 2010 is looming on the horizon – actually, it’s less than a week away and only four days to the press day – so we thought we ought to have a quick preview of what you can expect if you decide to jump on the Eurostar for a trip.
Everything we know is already on Cars UK somewhere, but for those who’ve turned up fresh looking for Paris Motor Show news it’ll help to have a preview page.
We will try to update this page as we get more news from the Paris Motor Show, but you can always get to the latest stuff by checking out the Paris Motor Show 2010 category which lists all the show’s stories.
