Guest etozion Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I recently updated my screensaver pics collection with Buick cars pics. Just wandering what is a fate of Bengal and Velite?I kind of think the Reatta was ahead of it's time. Does Buick finally come up with something similar, true ?brake through??

FlyByNite Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 This thread has links to pix and info. If you back up to the Buick forum, there is a subforum for Reattas.http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1293EnjoyFlyByNite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonlachapelle Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 from http://www.gminsidenews.com/futureguide1.htm <span style="font-weight: bold">Riviera</span>- Buick is considering building the Velite concept car. If built, the car would be the mechanical twin of the new Zeta GTO and Chevy Performance Coupe (Camaro/Chevelle) and named Riviera. The Riviera would come in both coupe and convertible versions. Expect the Riviera to get a DOHC V6 in place of it's platform mates OHV engines.<span style="font-weight: bold">Grand National</span>- A rumor (remember rumor!) is that Buick's high performance version of the Riviera will get a 3.6L Turbocharged V6 instead of a V8 in it's performance model. If this happens, there is a good chance that the Grand National name will make a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc-griz Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Tiger Woods has been driving a "production" model Velite for several months now. I'd like to see the Riviera make a comeback. After owning a 96 SC model and currently own a 97 SC Rivie with 36k miles, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. The Velite sure has the lines of the Riviera and would make a logical leap forward for the Rivie bloodline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
