Buick Riviera concept based on the 2014 Lacrosse. Sort of a sportier version of the Lacrosse integrating features from the Riviera and 8th-gen LeSabre (the stylistic successor to the last-gen Riviera) such as the wheel wells, the dollar grin grille/lights, and overall rounded oval shape. The lights are sort of gypped from a Cruze, though squished vertically and projector-ized, and it has gratuitous rear-window kink leaving room for a Buick emblem in the C-pillar. The hood is a dual-level affair that meets the greenhouse at a point above the belt-line, much like the 1st and 2nd-gen CTS.

I'm going to be making a nice colored vector of this later today while waiting to recover a corrupt partition on my dad's computer.

A 4-door Riviera? Do you work for the Germans?

I actually forgot it was two-door. This started out as a 2014 LeSabre but that's basically what the Lacrosse is anyways.

You're making a huge mistake - it needs a rear end and side profile more like this car.

BOAT TAIL

I can't think of a decent way to make that design carry over to the modern design language Buick is using now though

Doesn't matter - boat tail. You could go way out there and base it off the corvette even though there is no way in hell they would make something like that.

That would be interesting to see in production!

Nice drawing skills. MUCH better than mine :o

I've drawn random Riviera sketches, but my concept is more like a MHD mid-engine exotic supercar thing with a boat tail, of course

It's incredibly difficult to draw on an 8-inch Dell Venue. The digitizer is utter crap. Thanks for the compliments! :D

I'd love to see your Rivs, if you have the images handy.

I use paper and pencil. Maybe I'll scan them sometime :p
