That's what the "GM people" are saying.
Let's hope they pull a Solstice on us and don't change it too much from the 2004 Concept. It still looks great. If they don't price it too high, it would be a great alternative the the rather underwhelming new Sebring convertible Limited. Which can already top $34 000.

What else can GM do right????

Another Zeta based vehicle?

ugly buicks as usual

Sorry but not digging the looks. Far too portly and rotund with those silly portholes. I'm sure it will ride really smooth and it will probably have a stong
V8 motor but It does nothing for me. Then again, I don't think I'm the target market Buikc is aiming for. Sure it looks better than the sebing convertible but not by much.

Basically, it reminds me of an uglier Lexus SC430 (another bloated luxo-convertibarge)

If it were a re-bodied Caddy XLR, then it would be pretty sweet. Otherwise, just another bland car from a very bland company.

get rid of buick is what they can do right....

If this goes into production, you know 3 months down the line every other GM division will have one as well. rebadge engineering FTL

As far as i'm concerned GM hasn't done anything right... yet. Performance cars are great but fuel economy matched with practical cars would be EVEN better.
