Yes, but it is the coolest blind-spot ever! 8)

Was this in Geneva? Not in the main halls, anyway...

Nope. Bertone have difficult financial times now, so they had no stand at the car show. First time in about 40 years. This car was showed for just some hours one evening outside a nightclub in Geneva. At the street. You had to know it was there or you missed it.

Yeah, I wondered where they were. Pininfarina and Giugiaro were present, so I missed Bertone.

I'm sorry to see Bertone (and Pininfarina) struggling. With the apparent dearth of talented designers at most of the auto companies during the last decade, I'd hate to see them go under.

Pretty car, SeaLion - thanks for the pics!
