The 90th Geneva International Motor Show has been cancelled. Yep, just three days before the event was due to open to the media, and with manufacturers lining up new cars to be unveiled throughout next week, the Swiss Government has decided that no events with more than 1,000 people will be allowed to take place until 15 March.

According to the event organisers, construction of manufacturers’ stands at the Palexpo convention centre was almost complete.
