Now it's time to play: How boring will the car be once the concept is watered down?!

[@dave_riots]

since it's Buick, it'll be watered down a lot.

[@jonathansmith1590]

You got that right 😜. On most occasions, the finished products don't look ANYTHING like the concepts 🥱😴.

[@CarsAmerica]

A return of the verano lol. They won’t build this

[@RaitisRides]

Fingers crossed it isn’t terrible

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

@@RaitisRides like the Chevy volt concept back in the day.

[@UnenthusedEnthusiast]

Buick always has great concepts. In the end they are boring or never make it to production. This is a beautiful concept, for Buck’s sake I hope it comes out and close to the original design!

[@lorendsalazar]

Really, really bored , , , With Buick putting out these silly prototypes that they NEVER build. .

[@giovannirodgers9254]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Now hopefully this will be what they actually bring to the market with a nice push to it.

[@thinkabout602]

Looking sooo COOL Buick is back - IF they make something close to that concept SOON .

[@Guy9998]

And doesn't cost a fortune.

[@RaitisRides]

Oh heck yeah!

[@DJ_BROBOT]

Oh no they aren’t…they never build their awesome concepts…y’all getting tricked . They never listen….its like its all about China and that’s it. They could sell a new Grand National in akin to the Charger or /challenger and would sell like hotcakes, but Buick is basically a shell company to me like GMC is to Chevy.

[@DWH300]

That vehicle as it sets is likely a million dollar concept. It will never make production in this form. Not even close.

[@davidwolf226]

Joe, having been a fan of the original Wildcat from decades back, this modern take is nothing short of incredible, in my humble opinion. If Buick comes up with a production version of the next Wildcat that is anywhere close to this design, they'll have a winner.

[@anthony8362]

You are absolutely right. the Wildcat was always a Buick badass a car that they should have never let go

[@andreww1212]

Not gonna lie it looks pretty slick. The final product is probably not going to look anywhwee near this and end up totally boring.

[@jamesparson]

As someone who has owned GM cars, no I can't imagine they will put this into production.

[@TheLastRide88]

Wow, now that is a gorgeous looking car. I hope the concept car ends up looking at least 80% of what it looks like in the video.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Great review as always, unfortunately, this will never happen. Buick will just give the boring Encore a hood stripe, say it was "refreshed" and call it a day.

[@amill1563]

Are decco, agreed. I wonder how a modern day artist or designer would break this down. Looks awesome!

[@adamhose5231]

I just wanna point out the AMAZING camera work and presentation you and your sweetheart have given us. Especially with the car turning as it was. The car does look very futuristic too!

[@creist4445]

This as a phev would be perfect for Buick

[@RaitisRides]

I agree 100%

[@michaelpinreno]

My brother had a 1963 Wildcat that I remember really hugged the road in the curves and was a dream to drive. This new concept has that appearance and should really be able to replicate that same driving experience..

[@Timalannovotny]

Wow super looking car, great job Joe and Lori! Can’t wait to see it in action

[@matty1118]

Looks great! I really love my current Buick Encore gx so if they keep up the concepts and cars looking like this I’ll continue to buy them

[@mxr572]

Buick always presented fantastic futuristic experimental designs that ended up as nice ordinary renditions in actual production versions. same with other GM brands. also GM was always cost conscience except for chrome add ons.

[@jimmyamico4713]

Very nice… I called this car, my VILLANOVA wildcat… I truly love Lexus that’s my favorite vehicle, but I am very impressed with this Buick… JOE and LORI; you both do great videos…

[@micahgunnell]

Looks cool! Design is going to be way more important with electric cars since they are all kind of similar when it comes to everyday useable performance.

[@briankirk305]

I think that the Buick Wildcat is a gorgeous looking car, the color and the rim's just fit that car to a T, and the interior is simply amazing, I hope that we're looking at a production vehicle, because I'm sure that it would sell like hotcakes

[@jonniiinferno9098]

Sorry bro - that is not a "production model" - the car companies have perfected the "bait-n-switch" the show cars never make it to production at least - not before they lose their "WoW - i need that" factor...

Another concept that will never see the light of day. Remember how nice the Buick Avista concept was, but they continued to pump out boring cars?

[@roostertony]

JJ ~ I saw one on your report from the Detroit Auto Show hehehehe. soon there won't be cars, no one will be allowed to own a car, unless they've sold out or billionaires - everyone else will ride bikes or walk. I predict. I think it's symmetrical & high tech luxury together in one design, it's very nice, but I don't see it coming to the streets, not like the concept. it makes Tesla look outdated already. enjoy the show, the hotel, the Twinkies &the CARS, love ya, tony

A very expensive one off concept that will never be built. The name will likely continue, but the car will change to a more affordable production vehicle. If it's priced like the Mercedes 450S Luxury EV sedan. Expect a price around $100,000. .

[@PaperOnlyGang]

The Cadillac lyriq for the most part looks exactly like the prototype so if Buick keeps this exactly like this it will be a home run! GM has been on a roll as of late

[@sweetness_5772]

It's funny when you state Buick is "Going back to the past with a modern twist to it." Chrysler and Dodge, has been doing that for years. They did it with the Plymouth Prowler, PT Cruiser, and the Challenger. In fact, this Buick front end reminds of the current Challenger and the EV Charger

[@steved7085]

Always exciting to see these concept cars, however, that's all they are, a concept. It's rare to see the final release looking much like these futuristic designs. One particular car that did manage to retain most of it's concept design is the Alpine A110.
