The Geneva Motor Show nearly split the automotive web in half this week under the sheer weight of its debuts and news, but there are other things happening out there. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is set to debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show, for instance, and it's a car we're looking forward to, especially after seeing the SL63 in Geneva this week. SRT's re-born Barracuda might get a supercharged Hemi V-8, if in fact it is built. And the Lotus Exige S Roadster (which was revealed at Geneva) has shown its face to the world--though it looks a bit less Exige than we would like...

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor ShowMercedes' new SL Class didn't get the warmest reception from the press as a whole, but we thought it looked pretty sharp. The AMG version, the 2013 SL 63, takes the new SL's look to a new level--and one that's even better suited to our tastes. While it has a good bit of the AMG flair, it's not over...

While much of the rest of the BMW lineup is downsizing to turbocharged four-cylinders, the M6 is downsizing to a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. Yes, the V10 is gone, but the new model's power figures are right where they need to be, and, perhaps more importantly, so is the look. We've already seen the M6 in the official imagery, and the good news is that it looks just as good in person. Despite some questionable lighting choices, the M6 on the BMW stand in Geneva comes off every bit as muscular, powerful, and modern as it ought to. It just comes off a bit more orange than you'd expect--regardless...

Range Rover Evoque Convertible Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor ShowThe idea of a convertible crossover isn't new--and it isn't even originally Range Rover's, but with the appearance of the Evoque Convertible Concept, it looks like it should have been.
