The news today said Buick is going ALL EV in the next 2 years.

72c20customcamper · 06-02-2022, 07:02 PM

The article I posted said that too

57taskforce · 06-02-2022, 07:05 PM

I bet the 7th Gen Camaro is based off the same or similar platform before it’s all said and done.

The fist paragraph of that article says the wildcat is a concept only and won’t be built.

Audi R8+ camaro= this buick. I like it actually, but have zero interest in electric.

LONGHAIR · 06-03-2022, 05:53 PM

At least it's not an SUV

**davischevy** · 06-03-2022, 06:15 PM

I think it's kinda cool. I don't have any interest in EV.

Amen to that. That Mustang thing was a disgrace to the name. Worse than the Mustang II.

But we have to face it, Electric cars aren't going away. That's why I own stock in Tesla. Gotta turn lemons into lemonade.

I don't want an EV, but I too bought Tesla stock. It's done pretty well.

So has mine. I thought about getting a Tesla just because they're fast. But they're just too plain and ugly in my opinion. Not my thing.

Buick isn't going to produce this concept from what I've read. They will supposedly take design concepts from it to implement into their EV crossovers when they come out in 2024.

Yeah, concept cars never seem to make it to reality. Sometimes you can actually see the influence from them in later production cars, with most of the cool knocked off, other times not so much.
They seem to still keep wasting millions on making them though?

No ventiports?

Nope, no ventiports on this Buick. Just a stylized Buick shield for a hood insignia.

Here are some of my concepts for electric Buicks. Why not? We started downsizing cars and taking away their style in the name of better MPGs and less emissions. with electric those concerns are out the door. Let's get back to doing what we did best

Is that what they're called.

I always called them holes.

Buick had 3 hole Vents and also 4 hole ventaports

These would have been cool. '02 Cadillac Cien (concept)

72c20customcamper · 08-01-2022, 09:01 AM

I see that car in the CTS not as radical but the design elements are there

**special-K** · 08-01-2022, 09:38 AM

Distinctively Cadillac. How about this one? '03 Cadillac Sixteen. Yep, V16

I've never seen that one. It's not my thang but I do admire it for sure.

That's a good looking motor. Although I like the car it seems a bit awkward looking. I can't really put my finger on it.

I like the XLR.

Warrens69GMC · 08-01-2022, 09:57 AM

Is it me, but I'm tired of the Ford Fusin-esk grill styles. Much rather see the Cadillac style grill treatment.

**special-K** · 08-02-2022, 05:39 AM

The front end on that Sixteen is loooong, like the V16s of the past.
