2008 Paris Auto Show Introduction

The Paris auto show (the French call it a Salon) might not be as important to the rest of the world as the Detroit auto show, Frankfurt auto show or Tokyo auto show, but nowhere else does the public swarm the displays of new cars and concept cars as do the French in Paris. The Paris auto show is always a heady mix of production models and concepts, many of which are profoundly European in design and character (read: innovative and weird).

In anticipation of the 2008 Paris auto show, we've picked 10 cars, in no particular order, on our must-see list during two days of press conferences. Be sure to visit MyRide.com on Thursday, October 2nd, for our coverage of the Paris auto show: There are sure to be a few surprises.
