The Geneva International Motor Show may have been called off due to coronavirus concerns, but that didn't stop the new-car debuts. The show must go on, after all - even without the show itself.
The Geneva event, which is one of the most important car shows of the year and was scheduled for last week, was canceled at the last minute after the Swiss government banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people, prompting car companies to reveal their latest and greatest creations by other means. Some manufacturers opted for online livestreams, while others issued photos and press releases.
Although everything didn't quite go as planned, there were still plenty of new concept cars and production models to gawk at over the last couple of weeks.
From compact cars to supercars, SUVs to sedans, and EVs to gas guzzlers, here are some of the coolest cars that were supposed to be on display at the Geneva Motor Show, but instead got their spotlight elsewhere.
