American car companies have a tendency to do that. They come out with a concept, and the car they produce looks nothing like it. Let's hope they keep with the lines and interior. It looks sweet. Grannies across America will be at the Buick Dealerships putting their social security checks down on that hot thing.

But i bet you, once that comes out, alot of people will be replacing the grille with Bently/Rolls Royce knock offs and putting some Ds on that bitch.
+1. It's going to be like the 300Cs. You'll see chromed out grills that will perfectly reflect the sunlight right into your rear-view. But that will be after people will have fitted chromed out 24s with "spinnas" to them. A lot of american car companies are catering to that image now.

While there was changes made from the concept to production, the Solstice overall kept the general styling of the concept.

The logo is the same on the concept and production. They just moved it from in between the grill to above it and rounded the grill a bit from the squarish one on the concept.

Or are you talking about the new LaCrosse?
