Buick, like their neighbors at Cadillac, are great at making concept cars. Their Avista is an all-timer; the Avenir, a unique take on that silly fastback-sedan thing that the German’s keep doing; and the Roadmaster, which would immediately obviate the continued existence of Chrysler.

The inside utilizes a ‘surround skyline’ theme and features a lot of natural wood grain and microfibre. It will also feature a ton of tech that doesn’t necessarily need to exist, since this is all run of a 5G network that doesn’t exist. Much like the Buick Enspire Concept.
