Very close!
But wasn't that a convertible?

Believe so, yes.

This is a Buick Riviera concept.....

That's not what I have it as.
I will check further into it but believe the answer is no!

Hmmm...OK.

*shrugs*

That's fine ... no worries.  I look forward to seeing what it is.

Though, I believe I've seen that car with the "Riviera" badge ... due to the back window, which is similar to the "boat tail" Rivieras of the early 1970s....  Unless I misread, which is VERY possible...lol.

The only other Buick name (assuming this is a Buick) I could see attached to this would be "Wildcat".....

I think Maxiu deserves a point. I can't find the actual story on GM Inside News, but this is a picture of the Buick Velite Concept Car, photoshopped in 2005 or so to create the never-to-be-seen or heard
"2009 Buick Wildcat Gran Sport"

Well, no, Maxiu doesn't get the point as although he was pretty close he didn't actually identify this concept.
You did however, and are the only one to have done so accurately, so you get the point!
Well done!

Sorry, I may have missed something, but has this car ever been build or it is just a big rumour about something that never was and may never be...

Yes, it's another of those 'someone had an idea but it never materialised into anything's.
