Shanghai Auto Show: More pics of the Buick Riviera Concept

Our colleagues over at Autoblog Chinese have just shown us a bevy of new pics revealing more angles of the Buick Riviera Concept set to debut soon at the Shanghai Auto Show. As we reported earlier, the Buick Riviera Concept was penned at GM's Pan Asia Technical Center, which makes the concept a coming out of sorts for that region's development team. The car is a proper coupe that reportedly shows off Buick's future design DNA, and while it's being referred to as a "global" concept, we can't say for sure whether or not the styling elements will make their way around the world to our own North American market. The prospects, however, seem good, as the Riviera Concept is set to go on an international tour of the auto show circuit after the Shanghai show comes to a close. So we leave the judgment up to you readers, is this the styling direction in which the Buick brand should head?
