Stuart Milne takes you through the all-important new car launches from this week's show.

Audi A5 and S5
Losing ground to BMW is never a good thing, so with the bit between its teeth, Audi have brought the world a couple of sexy coupes.

The A5 – and BMW M3-rivalling S5 – look utterly brilliant and will be the cars of choice for the discerning coupe-lover when they’re launched later this year.

BMW M3
Talking of super-coupes, Geneva played host to the launch of BMW M3 Concept.

A teaser it may be, but the German marque launched the new M5 as a concept in Geneva, only for it to go on sale a few months later.

The stonking new hot Beemer will pack more than 400bhp from its 4-litre V8 and produce a sound to wake the dead. Fancy one? You'll need £46,000 when it's launched in September.

Hyundai i30
It’s the first time Hyundai has featured in Look at the Wheels on That, but if it can carry on cranking out cars like the i30, it soon will.

OK, it's not going to set the world's petrolheads hair alight, but it's not a bad effort. It's been designed for European tastes and is so important for the Korean car maker.

Nissan X-Trail
I've loved the X-Trail from the moment I saw it. I adored its butch lines, and marvelled at its tough but flexible front wings.

So when I heard Nissan were replacing it, I was praying it didn't end up looking like the grinning Murano. It paid off, because the new model looks almost exactly the same as the old one.

Nissan reckon it's even easier to live with and better to drive. We'll tell you as soon as we test drive one.

Opel GTC
Opel – or Vauxhall as they're better known in the UK – reckons the GTC Concept points to the future of design for its forthcoming cars.

But with its sporty 300bhp, 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 thumping the power through all four wheels (or just the rears at the touch of a button, if you prefer), it sounds pretty hot to us.
