Oops... patents ^ Mods, if you could, please correct my typo in the thread title.

Let the rumors and speculation begin...

I would like to see a rwd coupe based on the alpha platform with a twin turbo v6.

This could be great. It would be awesome if Buick brought back the luxury coupe

It might be a CTS chassis with Buick styling cues. I think it should be a 510 HP 3.8 direct injection turbo with AWD. You know, just take everything Buick ever did right and put it all together.

Cool that they were able to get the portholes and sweepspear in there but those doors are ridiculous and the back looks like a Nissan. Maybe it's the baby blue, but it doesn't look very masculine to me. With that crazy interior the only people I see buying it are pimps and Star Ship Enterprise Captains.

I'd be more inclined to plunk down cash on something like this...

That photo was a concept car back in 2007. I'm sure the car will look much better today. If the Lacrosse and 2013 Impala is any indicator, it will be a work of art. At least that's my hope.
