Buick to Show 4 Seat Convertible

BUICK VELITE: A NEW EXPRESSION OF PREMIUM AMERICAN STYLE.

Detroit March 24, 2004; Restrained extravagance. Two seemingly incompatible words that nonetheless convey the spirit of the Buick Velite, a four-seat convertible that envelops its passengers in a rich, elegant environment while forging new ground in the exclusive territory of expressive, upscale rear-drive cars. The Velite is the first American demonstration of GM's all-new premium, global, rear-wheel drive vehicle architecture. Buick will unveil the Velite concept at the New York Auto Show in April. "Velite is a new expression of Buick's longstanding heritage in understated yet sophisticated design," said Anne Asensio, Executive Director GM Advanced Design. "While certainly an expression of premium American style, the Velite's impressive stance and overall presence emphasize a sumptuous driving experience that further pushes Buick on to the center of the world stage of luxurious touring cars."
