2016 Buick Avista

I like! Going to Buick's Web site, it seems like the interior is at least as slick as the sheetmetal.

I'm guessing this is based on the ATS/CTS/Camaro Alpha platform, so it could potentially be produced. I'm seeing shades of ATS-V coupe in the proportions of the front and rear overhangs. Seeing how Buick's playing up its handling chops and the Alpha platform being lauded for handling with the ATS and Camaro that leads me to believe that this is sharing that platform. Makes sense that GM would want to give its near-luxury brand a sporty coupe as a way to further differentiate themselves from Chevrolet.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong.....

Buick is the "darling import" in the Chinese market. If a vehicle like this one picks up their ears it may sell and help Buick.

If it was nothing but a show car than that's it. So much prettier than the Riatta (or whatever that plastic horror-mobile was).

Cheers
 
Does Buick think anyone lives in the real world? I could see the wheels getting bent along with the front end scraping on pavement occasionally.

Wrong target market. They have the Lacrosse and Enclave for that. This is aimed a bit younger. That way the responsible 30-somethings on their way up with 1.7 kids have a nice car to park in the lot at work without being ostentatious like their co-worker who leased a CLA250/320i/A3.
