I'd be all over this Buick Avista....

Looks like a Genesis coupe from the front and a BMW 6 series from the back/side shot.
Maybe one day in the future Buick will employ designers and fire the guys with tracing paper.
A Buick version of the Camaro is pretty titillating.
I'd love some new Buick muscle in my life.

It is a smart move. Buicks are aimed at older people, and an older person can appreciate an auto trans, and a back seat. Also remember Porsche 911 has a "backseat."
It is brilliant marketing.

I like it, but doubt it will ever make production.
Hope I'm wrong.

Appears to have some class in look unlike a Chevy Camaro. Good move by gm.
That's all the Britt's ever did was copy and then resell it to the innovators that invented it..... Even in music..........

Having even vestigial rear seats is a big help for keeping insurance rates down...I learned this with my oh-so-powerful 2 seat CRX, which gave me higher insurance costs than a Buick Regal Grand National would have.

Yep and Cadillac will sell a neutered version with long vertical tail lights. Pontiac might have done something decent with this but the touchholes at GM elected to keep the geezer mobile division instead.
That car in that form will never be seen in the US market I'd bet money on it.

This would look great with a nice size back seat in a sedan. Would be very similar to the new style Mazda 6's but with much more HP!
Beautiful looking car. Reminds me quite a bit of the Aston Martin DB9 and the Jaguar F-type.

[censored] GM is on a roll, hopefully they produce it quickly without adding to much water.
If they can get the price into the $40k range, its a heck of a lot better car than the 4 series BMW for the same money...with a 4 pot...
My only complaint is the interior is a bit 2012 concepty, they need to play with it a bit.
