In the days leading up to the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, some info leaked that Buick had something big to show. Now that the press conferences are all underway, it seems that it was much more than just vapourware. Enter the 2016 Buick Avista Concept.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Buick-Avista-Concept-2016-13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s little question that what you\u2019re looking at is a Buick. There are many stylistic tendencies shared with the LaCrosse concept that debuted at the New York Auto Show last year.<\/p>\n

So, take that car, ditch a couple of doors, chop the top and voil\u00e0! A spectacular sports coupe, with nice, athletic lines that few current Buicks can lay claim to. It seems that it\u2019s time for a bit of a shake-up at one of The General\u2019s more conservative divisions. It\u2019s also important to note that the three-colour shield logo is back on a Buick grille for the first time in quite awhile.<\/p>\n

Mechanically, a new twin-turbo V6 cranks out a claimed 400 horsepower. It\u2019s an engine that will be shared with some Cadillac models going forward, but its presence underneath the Avista\u2019s long hood speaks volumes about where Buick\u2019s headed. A spiritual successor to 1982\u2019s Regal Grand National, perhaps?<\/p>\n

We can only dream.<\/p>\n
