The Buick Avista is a concept car, a two door 2+2 pillarless hardtop coupe that Buick unveiled at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Its low fastback shape took its front end from the 1954 Buick Wildcat II concept, and the doors and several interior parts were produced by 3D printing. It rides on the same rear wheel drive Alpha platform as the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and the sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro, with Magnetic Ride Control, and it is powered by a 3.0 litre twin turbocharged V6 rated at 400 horsepower with an eight speed automatic gearbox and cylinder deactivation. The press praised it, and it won the 2016 EyesOn Design award. General Motors weighed building it as a halo car for Buick but Buick finally stated it was a design study and did not build it.
