Buick GMC Halo?

With the Solstice gone there is no halo car at Buick GMC dealerships. What are chances of the Riviera concept being produced?

GMC = Any Denali
Buick = Any Super

My understanding was that the Riviera was a SURE BET (via Alpha) before the bankruptcy catastrophe.

The only reason it would've been in jeopardy is if GM decided to give Alpha back to Pontiac. We all know that won't happen now.

I'd love to see something like the Riviera as a Buick halo.

As for GMC; they do need to evolve the Denali line. But honestly, I'd like to see something that's environmentally friendly as a halo (not that I'm a green nut, it's just good for business) or perhaps the Denali XT.

My question is: what exactly does Cadillac have as a halo? It'd be nice to see the Cien up there, but I'm sure GM can't afford that. So is it the CTS-V? The Converj? The upcoming (puke) Epsilon Cadillac?

GM seems to know what it's doing with Buick, but have NO CLUE how to run Cadillac (Not sure what happened to it's momentum from the late 90s)

I think we'll see some sort of a halo Buick in the future.

Let's hope GM doesn't drop the ball with Cadillac. Alpha will figure prominently in the next few years. Cadillac needs to be careful not to blur the line between it and Buick though.

GM performance group is disbanded to that. Any performance offering from an engineering stand point would have to be piggy backed on something that already exists
