Default Buick is planning to add a Coupe to their line....

Buick, GM's "Old Folks Car División" is planning to add a Coupe to their Line-up! Sounds kind'a funny doesn't it? I wonder what will be next...a Convertible? Don't Laugh, as they have designed a real Beauty! Look at this.....

Personally, I Like It! What's your opinion? I'd like it better if they removed the Emblem and Chrome from the Grill....

Is it built in China?! That's a hard no for me these days... When I was there I couldn't believe I was seeing all these new Buicks, MG's... and most hilariously a near identical copy of a a Range Rover Evoque called a LANDWIND...

Default Buick Avista Concept

The pictured car is the "Avista" concept car from 2016. You can see the "Concept" designation on the back of the car. Too bad GM/Buick did not adopt the styling - might still be producing sedans today in the US, instead of just SUV's, and to a younger market. Would have sold well in the China market, in any case.

Sorry Guys! I don't get around much in the American Car Market anymore....and I didn't know you had already seen the Concept.....I like it... alot also Nick...but I doubt we will ever see even the Coupe....GM seems to be spending it's time on Pick-up's and Corvette's......

I'm also not really following the American car market much. Never owned a pickup or an SUV. Haven't bought an American car since my 1979 Camaro. I just can't resist the convenience of the trouble-free Hondas I've had for daily driving, and the allure of British sports cars for some strange reason.
Concept cars are usually pretty attractive, and that Buick sure is.

I like the concept, but it has neither a Growler nor a Leaper, so not for me

Other than the oversized radiator grille that afflicts most cars these days, I like it.

Rear vaguely reminds me of the Crossfire, but much prettier.

Dare I say that it's obviously built from a Camaro. There is no Pontiac anymore and a sister car might do well but who knows for sure. The aftermarket Pontiac Trans Ams built form current Camaros are more to my liking however, that Buick doesn't look at all like yours or my Dad's. I had not seen that concept car before. And to echo Micheal there are many "features" on cars today that just make my shout YUK!!! I'll leave it at that. TM

I really like the looks...In addition to my XK8...Getting older I was bitten by the "Buick Bug" and yes Buick
did come out with a convertible...the Cascada...Wife loves it...Turbo 4...not my cup of tea....Discontinued...
Also have a loaded Buick LaCrosse...typical "old folks car"...5 years old, 12,000 miles...and yes the right turn
signal is always on....it too was discontinued....I will take the XK8 any day...

Looks very nice! I wonder if the designers brought in an F-Type and parked it in the studio as they worked…
I had a couple of AWD LaCrosses. Decent car, if a bit boring.

Victory.....It appears that you have some (2021 Ford Bronco & a 2019 Ford F-250) listed as current Autos.....Have you put Leapers or Growlers on them?

Just checking!!
