After a long absence, in particular due to the health crisis related to the Covid-19 epidemic, car dealerships are gradually starting to return. Of course, we mean the Paris Motor Show, but also the Munich Motor Show, as well as the Geneva Motor Show, which has been moved to Qatar for the first time. But this change does not mean that the traditional Swiss meeting will disappear forever. And for good reason, the latter will finally return next year, after no less than four years of absence. And the dates are already known, because the performance will open its doors from February 26 to March 3.
Keeping Geneva’s DNA alive, GIMS Qatar truly felt like a home away from home. The red carpets and brand name boards are reminiscent of Geneva, creating a cozy and familiar atmosphere even in Doha.#GIMSQatar23 #zhenevomotorshow #gimsswiss pic.twitter.com/8CcoNleTTd

A few are missing
This 2014 edition will have the difficult task of celebrating the revival of this event, the last edition of which was canceled a few days before opening, while the first stands were already installed. Which was not without real indignation among the participating manufacturers. Which has undoubtedly put some off, although a few have already announced that they will not be making the trip during this new 2024 edition. But then who are they? At the moment, the full and final list has not yet been revealed, but we already know that some German brands have already confirmed their absence.
He still doubts
This is, for example, the case of BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Volkswagen. The rest of the German group is still undecided as Skoda, Cupra and Porsche have yet to confirm their decision. If the Renault group has announced its arrival, there is still nothing definite from its side Stellantis group, which missed the Munich exhibition and also canceled its visit to CES in Las Vegas, in particular, due to strikes on the American territory. So we still have to wait before we know the final lineup for the 2024 Geneva Motor Show!
