First impression, I'm surprised it is not named the Riviera.

Second, I wouldn't mind a luxury-appointed Camaro - like a nice GT - with a proper manual transmission, that could go up against cars like the F-Type. Eight-speed auto? No thanks.

Nice concept but I will have to wait to see the real thing. With a few tweaks this could be an Aston Martin. That says more about how the cars are looking more alike than anything else.

Looks good and there will certainly be a market for a car like this. Now how much worse will a production version look?

When I clicked on the thread, I didn't expect to like it......dang, looks good! Guess I have an unfair bias against the Buick nameplate.

That was my first thought too. But I just can't get past the fact it's a Buick. My in-laws drive a Buick. Easy pass.

First look says it could be very nice. But wait until GM's bean counters remove all the nice whiz-bang concept features for the same old interior knobs and buttons that every other GM car gets and it will be a different story.
