2015 Buick Riviera?

Recently it was discovered that Gm had patented the Riviera Moniker for use on an automobile, this news came right after GM had patented the SS nameplate for the new Sport Sedan, now naturally this was exciting information for the automotive community, as the Riviera is sorely missed. The 1963 Riviera was designed by GM styling legend Bill Mitchell who hoped to create “a cross between a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce” now obviously this is no longer possible because of café standards and Buick’s mid level Luxury positioning, but Buick’s Lineup, not unlike its upscale stable mate Cadillac’s, has the glaring omission of a proper flagship. Follow the jump to learn more about the future Riv' and see a mock up that the production model may be based on. CLICK READ MORE

2014 Chevrolet Impala Tease

For months we have all been waiting on the edge of our seats for information on the 2014 Impala, and today we got some, from GM themselves! We have learned that the next large front wheel drive sedan from the Bowtie brand will bow at New York, and we now have the first official image of the car. The photo confirms my suspicions that the mules we have been seeing are wearing LaCrosse Sheetmetal, as the pillars don’t match those found on the test cars. What we do see in the teaser is a very slim C pillar (by today’s Standards) Surrounded by tasteful chrome trim with clean chiseled accent lines. We also get a preview of the Chevrolet Coke bottle rear shoulder s, like the ones on the Malibu and Camaro, and the Decklid appears to flow into the pillars. The Impala also keeps the traditional logo that is also found on the Current Model. It’s about time we saw a proper Impala that does justice to this storied name, and if the rest of the car is like this teaser, it should be quite the looker, expect to see the whole car around the fourth, and I will do my best to keep you guys updated every time something new is leaked.

Citroen DS9

The Metropolis will officially be using the DS9 Moniker, conspicuously leaving room between it and the DS5 nameplate. The Model will be China Only and the rest of the DS range will accompany it overseas. The first live photo of the DS9 was captured the other day during a photoshoot, and though it is mostly covered, we can tell that the car keeps allot of the Metropolis’s lines, but there are also quite a few borrowed from the GQ Concept.

The Original concept was 17 feet long, but thanks to this photo we can tell that the DS9 is a fair amount shorter, the average height for a man in France is 5’ 8.5” so I took this man’s height, which is represented by the red bar and rotated it to line up next to the car, now because this is not a complete profile, and the car itself is at an angle, we cannot make anywhere near exact measurements, but it is obvious that the car is not 17’
