Buick Invicta Concept Debut At 2008 Beijing Motor Show

Buick newest concept car Invicta(Latin for invincible) was today officially revealed at the 08 China Auto Show. It is designed as a close preview of what U.S. customers will get as 2010 LaCrosse sedan. The new Buick Invicta Concept sedan was developed with both US and Chinese markets in mind and the production version might be badged Regal in China.
The Invicta is the latest evolution of previous Buick concepts including the 2004 Velite convertible and 2007 Riviera coupe, and was designed collaboratively by GM centers in Warren, Michigan, and Shanghai, China.

Buick Invicta Exteriors
As with Riviera, Invicta features short overhangs with wheels pushed out to the corners for a well-planted stance. The overall appearance is sleek, thanks in part to a sweeping, low roofline and a front windshield that has an aggressive rake.
Up front, the Buick tri-shield is prominently displayed inside the Velite-inspired chrome vertical waterfall grille. Polished aluminum surrounding the headlamps, portholes, around the D-pillar and along the lower side of the vehicle on the lower doors accentuates the overall exterior design.

Buick Invicta Interiors
The wrap-around design of the interior and fluid design provide a spacious cabin for all passengers, especially those seated in the back of the vehicle. At nearly 100 cubic feet of interior space, Invicta delivers large-car comfort in a mid-size sedan. The sense of roominess is further accentuated by a full glass roof,

2010 Buick LaCrosse/Invicta Spy Photos & Video

FIRST GLIMPSE: 2010 Buick LaCrosse Interior
General Motors had released this rendering in September 2007 of a future vehicle labeled 'GMX-353', which is the internal designation for the next-generation Buick LaCrosse. Based on the forthcoming Epsilon II mid/large FWD platform, the next LaCrosse is intended on taking the current midsize Buick to the next level in terms of luxury and refinement. If these conceptualizations are even partially telling of the production sedan, then that goal will be readily achieved.

Spy Shots: 2010 Buick LaCrosse shows off its insides
Close inspection of the pics shows some similar dash characteristics between the two models, though the Malibu is all about the curves while the Buick is more strait-laced. The two models also appear to share gauge clusters and housing. Seats in the preproduction LaCrosse are two-toned much like that of the up-level Malibu, but the two appear to have a different basic shape.

2010 Buick LaCrosse interior [Spied & Illustrated]
The spy shots reveal a rather handsome interior that looks more Cadillac than Buick. The prototype's gauge cluster looks like it will have a pod setup and it looks like the LaCrosse will sport a steering wheel very similar to the one found in the Pontiac G8. It's not known if the production car will be named LaCrosse or Invicta, which is Latin for "invincible" — a name used by Buick decades ago.....According to our sources, the new Buick will be assembled at GM's Fairfax facility starting in February of 2009. The LaCrosse should hit dealer showrooms in mid-2009 as a 2010 model.
