Sweet

That thing looks pretty good! Very good looking concept IMHO. lets hope for a turbo "T" version :biggrin:
 
I am dreaming of direct injected, high feature v-6, with twins.
 
Hm... I tried to convince myself that I like it, but I don't. Maybe it'll grow on me.
 
Can't see them actually putting out a production Rivvy with gullwing doors.

I agree, but I thought the body lines were nice.
In addition I like the front end and grill.
I will take mine in black...
 
DI forced induction

John that is one bad lookin car even has the Classic Buick portholes car looks great from every angle, they should build it and definately put some type forced induction. The interior is unreal hopefully they'll get rid of the gullwing doors.The only problem that might smack at the traditionalist is it's designed by the Chinese a joint venture with GM and Shanghai automotive industry corp,SAIC. The article China Designed Gullwing Coupe,, the concept debut at Auto Shanghai 2007. GM has that new direct injection SIDI V6 VVT they're putting in the 2008 Cadillac CTS that would be nice if they used that and turbocharged it and dropped it in that Rivi.. Holden already has a turbo variant in that Global V6 LY7family, also if they get rid of liners and use their new cylinder coatings they can go to 4.0, DOHC VVT,forged crank,all aluminum construction,4 valves per cyl. coil on plug ignition, piston coolin oil jets,most sophisticated ECM ever used it's a 32 bit micro processor Motec ECM which has individual cylinder knock sensing capabilities 1st ECM to be connected to engine,. This is a nice high tech lil V6 and they should put it in the Riviera..

Damn that engine looks like a PITA to work on. How do you change the alternator, from underneath the car? LOL!
 
Before everyone gets all worked up, realize that this thing is wrong-wheel-drive. :rolleyes:
