As I previously posted, starting January 1st, Al Mulla Group will be the new distributors for Mercedes-Benz in Kuwait. There has been a lot of talk on where their showroom will be but this current rumor seems to be the most plausible one.
Volkswagon just moved to a new showroom in Al Rai (pictured above), so the rumor is that the Acura dealership will now move into the old VW showroom, leaving the current Acura showroom for Mercedes to take over.
To me, this makes the most sense since the Acura lineup is fairly small, and I don’t think is doing so well in Kuwait, so the old VW location should help cut down on their overhead. The current Acura location is actually pretty nice and spacious so should be enough for the full Mercedes lineup, at least until they build them a new larger location.
Update: Looks like the above isn’t a rumor anymore. A short while ago Acura sent a message to their customers informing them that the dealership is moving to the old VW showroom (including their service center).

I was told the same by two Acura employees. The current Acura dealership building will be given to MB while Acura will move to the old VW location. In fact, if you check the back side of the dealership (the service gates side), you’ll notice that they’re making some changes. I believe these changes are preps for the MB move in.
Not a rumor, it is happening.
Its done. Just got this SMS from Acura:
“Dear ACURA valuable family member, we would like to inform you that ACURA facility will be shifted this Tuesday, November 13th 2018, to our new location at Rai area, Mohamed Ben Al-Qassem street, the opposite of National Guards building, that to include ACURA’s new car sales showroom, service center, spare parts and ACURA’s Certified Pre Owned vehicles, we welcome you at your new home and can’t wait to see you there”.
Good move. The current Acura showroom is probably the nicest showroom in Kuwait.
Can’t talk about actual sales, but Acura SUVs are all over the streets.
so, is albishir doing any good offers on their stock?
I don’t think they have many cars in their stock. They haven’t received any decent stock of cars in the last 2 years because of their problems. Everything had to be ordered.
I’m hoping Almulla will get good stock of everything. They did a good job Jeep and Ram, especially the newer products. My cousin in Saudi says they still haven’t received the new Wrangler or Ram.
