Could be anywhere in Europe, DAF is very common as a truck manufacturer. No other license plates seem to make sense.

Also, couldn't they just leave the rear lights that sit flush? Those protruding ones just don't look good. The diffusers at ground level are pretty nice though, I'm looking forward to seeing it unwrapped.

This article says the Z4 will also be at Geneva.

BMW, Toyota could steal the Geneva show

BMW

BMW's new Z4 roadster is expected to debut, as is its Toyota sibling, the Supra successor. The automakers began cooperating on sports cars in 2012 as part of a technology sharing agreement. BMW previewed its version with the Concept Z4 last summer at Pebble Beach. The Z4 gets a fabric roof while Toyota's version is a coupe.

BMW ramps up its focus on profit-boosting, high-margin sports cars with the 8-series coupe. The luxury grand tourer will go on sale this year as a rival to the Mercedes S-class coupe. Its production form closely follows the Concept 8 series shown at the 2017 Villa d'Este concours d'elegance in Italy. BMW is also expected to show a near-production concept for a high-performance, 600-hp M8 version.

The second-generation X4 gets a show debut. The coupe-styled crossover moves to BMW's CLAR platform and becomes lighter, more efficient and roomier with sportier riding dynamics.

Toyota

Toyota is expected to debut a concept for a successor to its Supra performance coupe. The company released a teaser picture for a "modern racing concept" this month. The Supra, which is being developed in partnership with BMW, is expected to get a BMW engine and underbody, with a Toyota-styled top. Toyota's version is expected to put more emphasis on performance.

Looks like the Supra won't be lonely in Geneva.

don't forget Lexus has car to show too

I think they teased one already a cross over

Troll of the decade award goes to Toyota. Better yet, "Lifetime achievement troll award" #Trollyota

Looks like Toyota is already making some announcements ahead of Geneva, I must say although its boring the changes to the CVT and improved thermal efficiency are impressive.

Toyota creates world's most thermally efficient 2.0-liter gas engine

Toyota's R&D department just made a bunch of special deliveries. The Japanese carmaker announced a host of incrementally improved powertrain components for the Toyota New Generation Architecture (TNGA) that Toyota says will reduce its global fleet CO2 emissions by at least 18 percent. The headliner is a new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, Dynamic Force Engine (DFE) with a 40 percent thermal efficiency, making it the world's most thermally efficient engine with that displacement. Fitted to a hybrid system, TE gets bumped to 41 percent, matching that of the 1.8-liter hybrid unit in the current Prius, but with a higher performance ceiling thanks to the larger displacement.

The 2.0-liter DFE cribs some of the advances made on that 1.8-liter engine, including a larger valve angle, and a heat recovery system that reduces energy losses in the coolant and exhaust systems. A teardown would also find laser-clad valve seats for an improved air/fuel mix, mixing port and direct injection depending on the load for better fuel efficiency, and reducing friction losses overall.

Capped at 169 horsepower, torque rises across the entire rev range, and Toyota expects the unit to comply with future exhaust regulations right now. The smaller, more economical hybrid unit not only means better thermal performance, it's programmed to draw more power from the battery under acceleration.

The Direct Shift continuously variable transmission is the first CVT in the world fitted with a launch gear used when taking off from a stop and at low speeds. A gear performs that job more efficiently than the belt, resulting in more powerful acceleration, and by taking that burden off the belt, Toyota's been able to rework the entire unit. The pulleys and belt are smaller, the belt angle has narrowed, the ratio spread gets 15 percent wider, and shifting happens 20 percent faster. The CVT alone ups fuel efficiency by 6 percent over the previous unit.

A new six-speed manual transmission sheds nearly an inch in length and 15 pounds, and Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) software manages revs during shifts.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD for Toyota's non-hybrid gas-engined vehicles comes with ratchet-type dog clutches on the front and rear driveshafts. In two-wheel-drive mode, the rear clutches disconnect to save fuel. The new E-Four system will be fitted to AWD hybrids and use electric motors to send 30 percent more torque to the rear wheels than in current all-paw Toyotas.

Toyota will start installing all of these fruits of R&D labor this year, the five-year plan being to TNGA powertrain components installed in 80 percent of Toyota and Lexus vehicles sold in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and China. The engine should make its first appearance in the new Corolla iM (nee Auris). In the next three years, Toyota plans to make 17 versions of nine engines, 10 versions of four transmissions, and 10 versions of six hybrid systems. The 2.0-liter DFE and hybrid, the CVT, and the six-speed manual represent just four of those mechanical seeds.

lol..good catch thanks. I think I'm looking for any reason to be toyota angry....or....Tangry

Press registration for NYIAS was confirmed! I'll be there with the Albon team on the 28th!

oh I wonder who else will be in NYIAS, hope they're showing some cool stuff.

Nice, get there early for front row seats. Also are y'all going to dress up this time?
