Arnold Schwarzenegger at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show

If we told you there was something big and foreign at the Geneva show this year, you’d probably picture a gas-guzzling Hummer. But actually we’re talking about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who popped in to show support for American carmakers and non-polluting vehicles before a visit to his native Austria.

We joined the media frenzy, catching up with the ‘Governator’ at the Volkswagen stand. When asked if he planned to visit any motor shows in the future Arnie replied, “I’ll be back.”
