Surprises always abound at the Detroit Auto Show. Part of the fun is to see who comes up with either the most outlandish concept, or better yet, the concept that we would most like to see in production. This year, Buick got the crowd buzzing early by debuting the Avista concept car.
Based on GM's Alpha platform (yes, the same platform as the Chevy Camaro), the Avista is a 400-horsepower luxury coupe. It is powered by a 3.0 liter, twin turbo V6, and is rear-wheel drive. To put things in perspective, Buick hasn't produced a coupe since the front-wheel drive Riviera back in 1999.
"There is elegant simplicity in the Avista's surfaces, which speak to the purity of the car's performance, and a timeless beauty that's a hallmark of Buick design," said Bryan Nesbitt, executive director Global Buick Design in a press release. "It was designed to capture the spirit of the perfect drive."
