Buick has dusted off one of its classic nameplates — Invicta — for a new concept luxury vehicle that will be formally unveiled in mid-April at the Beijing auto show.
General Motors says the Invicta was jointly developed at corporate design centers in China and North America — a pattern that could mark the future design direction of the Buick brand, which is expected to share more models between those two markets.
GM says the Invicta showcar continues the thread of the futuristic styling theme introduced last year on the Buick Riviera concept that was displayed at the Shanghai show. It borrows such signature Buick design cues as the chrome waterfall grille, portholes and "sweepspear" curving line that runs along the vehicle's flanks.
The Invicta name — Latin for "unconquerable" or "unvanquished" — was used briefly by Buick from 1959-'63 on an uplevel version of the big LeSabre, and was supplanted by the Wildcat. The Invicta brand also appeared on a series of British cars from 1925-'50, and more recently on a limited-edition British sports car called the S1.

But it's a Buick !
Damn that's a sexy car. Love that 2 door. Stick a turbocharged 4 in there and I would buy it.
Hey Redneck... Look up the definition of the word liberal--'open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values'... Why do conservatives or wanna-be's think its a negative superlative to describe people they don't agree with today... This 'LIBERAL' loves his Ford... you probably shop at your local Walmart for groceries... and buy 'art' at Christmas Tree Shoppe...
Now all GM needs to do is put a Lexus logo on the grill, and liberal dickhead Americans will be tripping over themselves to buy this car. Yeah, scream about how you want a strong economy and say that you care about American manufacturing, but don't dare bring yourselves to buy a really sweet American auto....
hey calm down - if we didn't buy products from other countries Germany, France, Italy, England, Japan and China would be US territories.. the whole world knows that is true. WE are still one of the best markets...
someday tough times will hit your country and you will be sorry you were such a bitch.
don't under estimate the Americans.
aaaredskin: Yes, if Prius was Chevy most liberals and the press would be against it.
wow , it's got a real nice look , not like you can see some stolen details from every side :s (BMW 5 series headlights , Mercedes front grill, bit of volvo with 6 series mixed rear)
5 series rearlights that is
interesting.
I'm just really interested in muscle cars like FWD 4 cylinder Buicks.
