Wow! Buick is actually putting effort into car styling!

And it was even designed by the Chinese division. Perhaps there is hope for Buick and the Chinese in the automotive world after all. It's a damn shame Buick won't dare sell anything like it in the US or, more likely, won't produce it at all.

Not the best looking, but compared to what they've got on the market now, it's at least tries to get some attention. The Front end is a bit busy, and the overall shape reminds me of Mazda's recent concepts.

I love that side profile but the front and back really need some serious reworking. I hope Buick makes something like this.

While I applaud the effort at making it original, it looks like Hyundai and Lexus concepts of late, and not like a Buick at all. Although they've even got the portholes!

The front looks like somebody pulling your forehead back until your eyeballs nearly pop out.

I sometimes need effort to take a shit. It doesn't make it any more beautiful.

From no styling to WAY too much styling - is there no happy medium?

Looks...um, interesting. But there is no way that would ever be a Buick.

It's one thing to build all these concepts, but how about putting your money where your mouth is.

You don't mean build a car to put on sale do you? That would be a logical idea. Who the hell wants to use logic in business? Not me! images/smilies/tongue.gif

While I'm in favor of Buick trying new things, the end result here is rather horrible.
