Description: Buick has been doing quite well lately. Considering that just a few years ago their lineup consisted of cars that appealed mainly to the over 65 crowd, the brand has managed to turn their image and ca...Add Comments2
P_R_N_DMay 14, 2012 If Buick was serious about changing their image, they should have rebadged the Opel OPC. I still can't believe they didn't. What a missed opportunity...
Gianni VegaMay 14, 2012 @David, they aren't looking to make a 20,000 RWD drift car for high schoolers. When they say a younger buyer they are saying someone who isn't 65, maybe mid 40's or so.
Phillip HolbrookMay 14, 2012 However I'm not stupid enough to think they will get this right, it will most likely be on Epsilon II with XTS, Impala, Lacrosse, Malibu, Regal, Equinox, Terrain, SRX.
Phillip HolbrookMay 14, 2012 Alex the Tru 130 is on the Alpha platform that wasn't even thought of in 2007 when this came out. Though it would be a suitable platform now, I'm pretty sure this was on the Camaro/Holden Zeta platform, so yeah RWD.
Cham KhievMay 14, 2012 If they make this they will change my mind and outlook on buick, i like where there going..(nvr thought i ld say that.. Ever lol)
Alex SmithMay 14, 2012 And the is a rebadged version of the Chevrolet Tru 130 concept.
Alex SmithMay 14, 2012 Bring back the Firebird and T/A as a Buick. That'll turn the brands image around in a second, as well as give the Camaro's badass brother another shot.
Phillip GreeneMay 13, 2012 Yeah it was a blown 3.6 though I say make it look as close to the 71 as posible maybe use the cts 2dr so it will be rwd and have room for a v8 option bam buick owes some me money now
David GriegoMay 13, 2012 it'll most likely be a rebadged impala, new fenders buick grill, FWD, biggest engine will probably be a 3.x V6 due to the governments fuel regulation goal of 53mpg. And it'll cost more than $30,000. Not appealing to younger buyers, sorry.

Kris C. LopezMay 13, 2012 I actually quite like this conept
Paul LissonaMay 13, 2012 They made rivieras till 98 I think, they were 3.8 v6 then.
Phillip GreeneMay 13, 2012 Um what the hell chevy is this bro? And yeah it was a muscle car it was big two door with a big motor-muscle car, this is to forein looking shaepen up the lines tone down the front a little and done
Christian De PriscoMay 13, 2012 Yeah under 24k that looks just like this and you can sell it.....pure utopia
David GriegoMay 13, 2012 Make it under 24k, THEN it will appeal to younger buyers. If not, then it'll just be an over priced rebadged chevy, for old people.
Ryan SpencerMay 13, 2012 Oh, and there is NEVER such thing as too many muscle cars...
Ryan SpencerMay 13, 2012 Aside from the grille sitting slightly too high to be comfortable, this design is striking. I'd love to see this go to production.
Abraham MendozaMay 13, 2012 The Rivera was never really a muscle car, it was a very heavy very smooth cruiser, almost like a Continental. I really like this car, and I hope its rear wheel drive.
Jackson MichaelMay 13, 2012 There are already too many muscle cars right now to make this as well.
Kevin IrishMay 13, 2012 I think the sides are extremely boring compared to the front. Good attempt for 2007, though.
Logan LeMonnierMay 13, 2012 Oh yeah that'll make it into production...
Wallyed AlekozaiMay 13, 2012 I would make the new Riviera a muscle car. like how its suppost to be. this does look nice, but I would prefer a more "muscle car" design
Cody AndreeMay 13, 2012 If it was a Lexus everyone would drool. Fact
Nick StiMay 13, 2012 The grill needs to be moved down a bit
Jessica RiveraMay 13, 2012 I'll will not even remember this, not a chance they will make this
Description: According to a report coming from GM Inside News, Buick has recently filed to trademark the Riviera name to be used on a future model. If anyone can recall the gorgeous 2007 Riviera concept (which cle...Add Comments1
Phillip HolbrookMay 14, 2012 Lol MC Hammer, no its Reverend Hammer now fools!
Description: Buick is also looking to be a competitor to the likes of Lexus and Audi, so by offering a luxury coupe with solid name equity seems like a no-brainer. GM Inside News also reports that it's possib...Add Comments14
Kwayne BryantJun 14, 2012 I'll say this much. Buick is coming up. Their cars are becoming more attractive and worth the buy. Yes, Buicks were alright cars back then but that's the past.
Phillip GreeneMay 15, 2012 I mean you dont see me comparing late model american cars to 90s forein cars becuase thats a rigged comparison it makes no sence so why talk unless you actualy know what your talking about
Phillip GreeneMay 15, 2012 I dont know I think its just the people unwilling to actualy look at the cars who say shit like that because iv sat in a quatroporte drove it and then imeidiatly after drove an sts and then a gs vet all within 15mins and honestly I think the only people still trashing american cars are the ones who dont understand what vehicle segments are
Gianni VegaMay 14, 2012 Back in the day Cadillacs were really the ultimate luxury cars, besides Mercedes, BMW and AUDi were no where to be seen. Cadillac could get back on there level if they would stop cutting corners. Most Everything feels cheaper in a Cadillac.
Zach HillMay 13, 2012 Rear drive would get the people back to the marque. Front drive is total bs.. And yes, America could damn well be a competitor if we as a country got our collective heads out of our collective asses. You're welcome...
Clint EdwardsMay 13, 2012 The car could be on par, hell it could even be better, but the average joe is gonna go with the more recognized name. My grandmother drove a Buick for 10 years, it's that rep they're gonna have to shake
Logan LeMonnierMay 13, 2012 I think Buick is catching up but I would never choose one over an Audi or BMW. Maybe a Cadillac though
Chris GainesMay 13, 2012 however, cadillac definitely has the right idea and the cts-v is right up there with the m3/rs4
Chris GainesMay 13, 2012 and expecting them to make it back not blown to pieces.
Chris GainesMay 13, 2012 part of the reason that's true is because american automakers consider bringing a front wheel drive buick coupe to compete with the likes of Germany. that's like sending a Humvee into battle with the driver blindfolded and only a reverse gear,
Inderjot SidhuMay 13, 2012 Buick will NEVER reach the likes of Audi or Lexus. It will simply be just another bland American brand. It has no real distinguishing features and I'm actually pretty surprised they are profitable now. Who buys these?
Inderjot SidhuMay 13, 2012 @Phillip Agreed. The only American car I can even think of that comes close is Cadillac and even that is way below the respect of brands like MBZ or BMW. German cars are dominating the luxury market simply because they make the best cars in the world
Phillip GreeneMay 13, 2012 An american car can never be a compeditor to audi and bmw not because of any real reason its just the people who can aford those makes dont even consider them there idea of shoping for a car is seeing which german car they can get the best deal on
Trent GriffinMay 13, 2012 Grand National motor in it please...!
Michael GallagherMay 13, 2012 So this is suppose to be aimed at a younger crowed? But if I am correct, bricks are pretty expensive because it's an American luxury manufacturer. Don't think this will fly. Just saying
Cody AndreeMay 13, 2012 Don't mind Matt. Hes only interested in ricers anyway
Brandon LidyMay 13, 2012 at least they're making progress. They haven't sent out an interesting vehicle in a long time. Maybe this will help them kick it into gear
If Buick was serious about changing their image, they should have rebadged the Opel OPC. I still can't believe they didn't. What a missed opportunity...
This will be interesting..
