Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

The headlights are screaming "Tosca rebadge" to me...

[edit] judging by the building silhouettes in the background, is this gonna be a China-market-only vehicle/concept or something?

Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

Thank God it has headlights and mirrors. Let's hope that it has wheels and a windshield too!



How do they even know what kind of car it is. It could be a Saab, Saturn...hell, it could even be a Chevy. It looks strangely like a Saab 9-5 headlight.

Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

What's with the pagoda style (inspired?) roof on the car?

Perhaps this one of the designs that the Simpson's rejected for the Homer-mobile?

It will be interesting to see when the real pics come out...

Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

I did a clean up of the spy shot of the EPII based Opel Insignia which may be this car's sister vehicle. So I put a Buick grille and copied those lights onto it and other details from the Invicta camo cars. I'm not sure if the grille will be that deep but the grille on the Opel is and if they share radiators and aero tested flow they may be similar.

Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

with the exception of the enclave (which is very nice but I don't know what lexus/acura competes against) buick in NA is a wreck. only empty promises.
maybe it's okay for China, but it's not enough here.
will buick ever get a car almost as nice as the new cts and better than the new malibu?

Re: Buick Invicta new teaser image

I don't know if it's just the angle of the render, but it looks like the front end (grille, head-lights) are going to be low. Like a CLS. Those head-lights especially.
