yes it would be nice, but here in america these manufactures rarely have the balls to put something that looks this good in production. and even if they did manage to put it into production it would probably look so different than the concept it'll probably not even be worth it. i mean look at the production camaro, it lost all the charm from the concept, at least the production challenger held up ok.

well jandrews90 the production camaro does generally look like the concept, but it lost all of those sharp lines, on the production version. they look too soft and just in my opinion it lost alot of the charm that made me fall in love with the original concept in the first place. but your right i chose my words poorly, it does look like the concept, just not exactly 100%.

Foxhound agreed..American cars lack DETAIL when it comes to production. Detail is the flow of bends, and the quality you get out of a car. Americans have this idea that flat planned sheet metal is attractive. It can be but in many causes it says "im cutting corners" All of these concepts are beautiful especially this gullwing but i dare not see what they would do if it came to production

Just think... this concept came to be for the Asian Buick market... why it seems the US market gets left out of the attractive Buick market is strange. for example, the Buick Velite Concept was very hot, and then it was quickly shut down... no production plans. The only decent looking product I see in the US now is the Buick Enclave, thank goodness it cam around to get rid of that tired and lame Buick Rendezvous. Baby steps I guess... maybe GM will surprise us with a killer Buick... worthy of some classic heritage.

Beautiful concept... My folks had a Riviera back when they became small and sporty. It had a CRT touch screen in the dash that controlled everything in the car. Way ahead of its time... Nowadays we have flat panel LCDs that are basically a modern version of the same thing. I keep waiting for Buick to bring back the Wildcat name on a vehicle meant to draw younger buyers. Something like this Riviera concept would't be out of line IMO. They actually used the name on a concept Buick many years ago but it was one of those too good for production concepts that GM has never had the guts to build. It made the Camaro concept look rather ordinary. It does strike me as funny to see the Buicks built for the Chinese market. Much nicer looking than those in the US with the exception of the Enclave.

i have to agree with almost everyone here. Why oh Why do they build these beauttiful concepts that will never reach production, and especially buick, build a car that someone, anyone young and old can care about, and bring them into the future rather than traditional dog sleds , well you know what I mean.

yeah i agree with these opinions... in america some of these cars looks like massive! sometimes they need to get competitives motors... nowadays the challenge are biggiest than years ago
