Buick Riviera concept showcases the raw power of water

"The greatest good is like water," says an old Chinese saying. There's something movingly beautiful about flowing rivers, glorious waterfalls, and crashing ocean waves. It's these influences that draw inspiration for the latest concept of the Buick Riviera - a design study offering clues into the brand's future aesthetics.

While the name Buick may not evoke feelings of beauty, cutting edge technology, and modern design amongst today's Americans - it does in China. This concept, therefore, was co-developed by GM Shanghai and Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, and was revealed at the Shanghai auto show - the same location as the last Riviera concept a few years back.
