This month's Mondial de L'automobile, or Paris Auto Show, promises to be one of the most product-laden international auto shows of the year, with more than 50 new vehicles making their debuts at the event.
The production version of the long-analyzed Porsche Cayenne SUV will make its first appearance, as will the Volks-wagen Touareg SUV, BMW Z4, Nissan Micra, Ferrari Enzo and an all-new Jaguar XJ. Other all-new models include the Audi A8, Mazda6 station wagon and DaimlerChrysler AG's new Smart. Also making a splash is the Renault Espace, leading a typically strong home-country showing for the French auto makers, which also plan to unveil several concept vehicles.
The show is open to the public from Sept. 28 to Oct. 13. Press days are Sept. 26-27.
