Buick Rivera???

I saw a concept was supposed to debut, any details on this one? I'm hoping for a Buick CTS with a turbo 3.2.

Here it is:




Oh. Wait. The Buick Riviera?

This is it:



It's the same one released at the Shanghai auto show last year (it was designed for China, this is its U.S. debut).

Supposedly we'll see a lot of these styling cues in production Buicks, but probably not the whole car.

LOL, darn it! I try my best to spell correctly. I am debating on if I should change the spelling in the title, probably shouldn't your joke wont come off as well.

I think I read that Buick is the number 1 seller in China and GM is building a proving grounds over there. That car looks like a lexus killer.

You're correct. Buick is huge in China. The fact that they are doing so well there is probably singlehandedly keeping the brand alive in the U.S.

Hard to figure why they're doing so well over there...

It's a beautiful looking car.

Just what GM needs to rival Lexus.
