2016 Buick Avista
The Buick Avista was a two door, four passenger coupe unveiled at the 2016 North American International Auto Show.
The Avista concept car shared the same Alpha platform as the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro. Power came from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 400 hp, backed by an 8-speed automatic transmission.
This concept car was met with critical acclaim, winning the 2016 EyesOn Design award. I saw this car at the show, and was really impressed with its style and stance. In truth, I stood at the display for long time watching this car spin on the turntable. This was one of the most beautiful, production capable concepts that GM should have built.
I really feel this should have been the design direction for the Camaro. GM missed an opportunity by not building the Avista or styling the Camaro after it.
