Ummm... Okay, I'm not a big on always calling out when somebody is ripping off a design, but I can't be the only one seeing a large amount of Riviera concept in there...

I love it, but instead of Riviera I see more Opel Flextreme in it....all in all a nice futuristic design with some very clever elements.

the basic design is the Riviera, all of it-with the Flextreme headlights of course

To my eyes, the front end is absent the sculpting of the bumper and airdam of the Riv I SO hoped would appear on the Invicta, plus is missing a prominent grille...interesting how we all see things differently.

Love it. It's actually a reviera concept isn't it? I saw that car in the NY show, and it was really good.

Did you happen to notice the sides though? It just screams it!

I'm not too impressed with pushmobiles. 'll wait til something with mechanicals on board is shown.

Yes you are so right...I belatedly noticed the profile as I was so distracted by the cool front and rear ends. Maybe Buick will make a smart move and build the Riviera (with normal doors) before that lovely design theme is snitched by someone else for production.

I agree with you, the front and the back are pretty cool looking, they seem to be pretty original.
