The video presentation – via The GM Lab, which is a blog set up through General Motors public relations, displays some of the finer tidbits of Avant. First off we at Buickpedia have to comment – we LOVE the look of Avant! Knowing this is merely the concept we know Avant won’t keep its futuristic design after production model phase, but the slender curves and egg-like shape ranks up there with Hyundai’s Accent and Toyota’s Yaris.

Special features being worked into Avant’s design include a retractile luggage storage trolley, which loads/unloads the vehicle for its driver, “Smart Doors” and translucent glass roof, which can switch from clear to dark in a matter of seconds. GM claims their “research was not brand specific” when working on Buick Avant – wonder what a Chevy Avant would look like? Stay tuned for more here and at thelab.gmblogs.
