I have mixed emotions about it, it looks too thick, and the Gull wing doors?
The only thing I didn't like about the older Riv pictured above, was the LONG rear, and long looking wheelbase.
And the Reatta was too small....

I love it...I'd love to see that over here with a TT HF 3.6 Tell me that car, with that elegance, wouldn't sell...

I hate seeing China as a home base for Buick, but I need to give up this silly notion that Americans will still be employed in 30 years, anyway Oh wait, we will be employed...

By Hyundai, Toyota and Honda...

Nah, they're only hiring hundreds to operate their mostly automated plants while thousands go unemployed the "big three."

As far as the car goes

I love it. I think it looks great. Although, to me, it looks like something audi would come up with? But I think that's good for GM. You're going to start seeing american cars look "foreign" over the next few years. The reason? American car's aren't selling anymore, even in America! (Ok, they still are, just nowhere near the volume the Toyota's and Nissan's are.)

D'OH!!!!!

I also forgot Target, Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds and a few others as well. Skilled labor is out...bring on the mega-corporations with their EPS requirements and mimimum wage mentality!!!

I'm feeling pretty Socialistic this morning, which isn't me at all...sorry to hi-jack the thread.

Back on topic...great Buick, long live the Chinese Engineering Department of General Motors!!!!

No reason Buick needs to mimic the Japanese. Regardless of what people want to say about it being an old folks car or dated there is a market for its classic design style... Everytime I see this...



I think of this...
