I don't mind the Avista name, its the Buick part I don't care for!

That paint looks incredible under the showroom lights. Here are some I found that are not totally washed out by the flashes from the hordes of media.

Beauuutiful...

It's only recently that Buick has been a snoozer for cars...

Back in the 60's...they were pretty cool. The 67 Skylark was a very good looking car.

I mean i guess it looks good but what is the reason for it? I would think a rebadged Buick Camaro would hurt Camaro sales. I can only shrug my shoulders.

Love the exterior! The interior is awful though. not a fan of the name either. would rather see a V8 in it, but i understand why it wouldn't get one. Heres to hoping they make it1

This is the nicest design I've seen come out of a domestic car manufacturer in ages. If they bulid it, will come. Well, atleast I will.

Looks great. It wouldn't interfere with what the Camaro is doing. It should have great performance but definitely more luxury oriented. They even call it a grand tourer. It's not the TTV6 from the ATS-V it's the midlevel V6 that's going in the CT6. 400 HP in the Buick vs the 464 from the ATS-V. I hope they make it and that it's very successful. You can never have too many rear wheel drive GM built coupes driving around. Nicely done.

Apparently, GM cannot recoup the development cost of the alpha Chevrolet Camaro with just those sales.

Alpha is doing just fine with the Camaro now available.

I think that is a huge leap to a conclusion for which there is absolutely no basis.

If they see a market for the Buick, they will manufacture the Buick. that doesn't mean they don't think they can recoup the dev cost of the Camaro. They may be maximizing the profit from the platform, but that doesn't mean they are in the red without another model using it.

in fact i think it would be way riskier to add the cost of making a new model, especially a Buick targeting a younger crowd.
