Forget all the doom and gloom plaguing the European motor trade, its biggest motor show is set to be another octane-fuelled cracker as the gates open to the media on 10 September and then the public on the 12th.
The carmakers have concocted something for all tastes but an overriding theme is the fusion of green and mean with a glut of hybrid sports cars - like the Audi Quattro Concept, BMW i8 and Porsche 918 Spyder- out to prove that point.
The 'connected' city car of the future will also be a big talking point, with cars like the BMW i3 and concepts such as the Citroen Cactus and Smart ForJoy garnering their fair share of attention.
Our A to Z listing below takes you through all the important launches and we'll be adding to it as the surprise unveilings take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Stay tuned...
