I can't stop looking at this thing!

 

Man that is stunning!!! Love that they finally ditched the chrome waterfall grill, hopefully that grill at least will make it to production Buicks.

 

it just might. While the new Lacrosse, Verano, and Environ coming next year DO keep the waterfall grille, the all-new Cascada convertible doesn't.....it brings a horizontal-bar pattern instead of vertical.

One thing I like about all of the new Buicks coming up is that they (finally) are going to dump that cheap-looking chrome shield-outline and go back to the traditional red/white/blue Buick logos. Unfortunately, the traditional Buick portholes (an icon of the brand since the late 1940s) may also be disappearing...though the new Lacrosse seems to be keeping them.

 

Envision*, it's not a Transformer

 

Thanks...I corrected that.

I understand it's going to be made in China (the Envision, not the Avista)...GM's first attempt at importing a Chinese-built vehicle here. They had better have the quality level up.

 

Is this competing against the RC-F?

 

A strong possibility, but we probably won't know for sure until they finalize the production version and give us the specs. Buick, today, in general, targets Lexus as its primary competitor....even though Lexus, in general, is in a somewhat higher price-range.
