Every other year Frankfurt, home to many European car makers, host the Frankfurt International Motor Show, IAA.  After the economic blow that the industry received from the worldwide recession it was obvious that companies were trying to put on a brave face.  However, design does feed on necessity and at this point in time the industry needs a change.  The few concept cars on show ranged from brilliant, BMW Vision, to awkward, Citroen's Revolte.  Herein are snapshots of the few who braved the storm!
