Have you guys seen this ?

Buick Avista Concept Stuns Detroit With Gorgeous Design, 400-HP Engine

Built on a Camaro chassis with a RWD, twin turbo 400 HP V6. The Japs and the Germans should immediately fire their styling designers and hire the guy or team that came up with this one. Proof positive that all new sport coupes don't have to have the stupid Transformers or cow catcher front ends with angular, fake scoops or intakes.

Now of course if built by GM it will probably be recalled or suffer quality issues and I would be afraid to buy one, but this is the first thing out of Detroit in the last 40 years that has quickened my pulse.

:agree:This. Concept vehicle are almost always much more exotic than the production models. That and it is Buick. I'm not necessarily against the brand or anything..but I would never buy one..at least for quite a few years

The interior dash and the rear looks too much like a tesla. The wheels looks like nismo shaped. The front is pretty plain looking, especially for a concept. I honestly dont see anything special, that's a Buick for sure

If this gets rebadged as the Buick Regal coupe/ Grand National.
People will start loving it. Perception is everything! S legendary name would fit this car.
