Designed at GM’s Chinese design studio just outside Shanghai, is meant to evoke the classic, Bill Mitchell-designed 1963-’65 Rivieras (with a little Y Job and classic LeSabre thrown in for good measure), as well as show Buick’s future design direction. The interior’s blues and creams are meant to convey earth and water themes.
