Buick Avista

Flowing curvy design language seems nicer to my eyes than the hard edges of Cadillac's; windows bigger than the Camaro so hopefully visibility is better. Interesting to see Buick's comeback.

Still wishing for the Volvo concept coupe lol...

it actually looks dope haha

DieGrüneHölle · 01-10-2016, 06:44 PM

That is beautiful. But they will find a way to make the production model terrible.

Built on ATS/Camaro chassis, rwd, 400hp TTV6.

Looks great!!

Shredicus · 01-10-2016, 07:28 PM

Looks like a jag ate a tesla; nice

IEDEI · 01-10-2016, 07:44 PM

very nice!

Buick already has one really good looking car in their lineup (Regal.....based off the Opel Insignia) and this would be their 2nd one!

1MOREMOD · 01-10-2016, 07:48 PM

Wow was prepared to laugh at a lame attempt. Very nice.

kprocivic · 01-10-2016, 07:50 PM

Looks heavy as a tank.

Blksnowflake · 01-10-2016, 07:53 PM

Well ok, nice car. Looks better than the Lexus RC coupe.

Easiest job in Detroit. Designing Buicks for GM.

DocWeatherington · 01-10-2016, 08:31 PM

Anyone say the return of the GNX?

Looks promising

400hp 3.0 Twin Turbo RWD

Oh my...that is one sexy car.

I haven't seen a design this well executed in a long time.

Nitrousbird · 01-11-2016, 05:29 AM

Looks great. I fear what will happen when it goes from concept to production car...

Your statements seem almost contradictory...how can it be terrible AND be a 400hp TT RWD on the Alpha platform? I think it looks great but obviously it's nowhere close to production and I've learned my lesson about getting too excited over a 'concept' vehicle.

M3Bimmer77 · 01-11-2016, 06:48 AM

Still a concept. Like the whole pic but the front grill looks like....ugl... I hope it comes with a sport suspension!!!! and I'm afraid of all that new electronic concept for first time in a Buick. Nice overall car though!!!!

AIRPOWER · 01-11-2016, 07:53 AM

The only Buick I EVER considered buying was a '70 GSX, this car would be #2. Good job GM. Glad to see it

Two separate comments. Being terrible was in relation to design. Some how they will figure out how to ruin the proportions in the production version. Also interior will not look like that. Other statement was just stats listed because OP had left them out of his post.

FriskyDingo · 01-11-2016, 10:13 AM

Stunning concept. I fear what will happen on the way to production, though. If it turns out anywhere near this nice, it'd be my pick over anything else on the market.

Killramos · 01-11-2016, 11:20 AM

looks pretty big to me. Sure its not a 6 series competitor?

loganador · 01-11-2016, 11:22 AM

An Accord coupe and a Tesla mated
