Buick's Stunning New Concept Car Looks Even Better as a Convertible
Buick’s new Avista concept is great looking, and it looks even better without a fixed roof.
These renderings of the Avista Convertible show off what the car would look like if it lost its roof. Seeing as the Avista is essentially a Camaro underneath with some sexy new bodywork, the prospect of it becoming a convertible is realistic, although the odds the car will ever actually be built are stacked against it.

Power is said to come from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 good for 400 horsepower, sending all of its juice to the rear wheels.
The concept sits on a 110.7-inch wheelbase and is fitted with 21-inch wheels. Inside is a Superior Blue interior contrasted by Mist Gray leather seating inserts. Exposed carbon fiber and aluminum trim highlight the interior, which Buick says conveys “elegance through simplicity.”

Dumb ass idea. Why build this when the future is electric? Electrify this and it might have a chance.
All electric for everyone will never happen it cant happen we will never have enough batteries or or solar panels or wind turbines but theres nothing wrong with having all the above approach . Technology cant be forced and given a time limit. Electric cars have been around for over a hundred years. Howd that work out
