NAIAS Jalopnik Caption Contest Winner

When we held the Detroit Auto Show caption contest we scoured the archives for an entertaining shot. Then we found the above shot on the GM Detroit Auto Show press site and knew we struck gold, which you then spun into comedic gold, providing us a nice mixture of Tiger Woods and chewy ear jokes. The winner and honorable mentions below the jump. More »

Detroit Auto Show: Buick Riviera Concept Makes US Debut

We already knew the 2007 Buick Riviera Concept would be here for the Detroit Auto Show, but the China born concept made it's US debut here last night. Originally unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2007, the Buick Riviera Concept was shown off to press by Ed Welburn and the gang at the Max M. Fisher Theater ahead of the show. We were hoping for a green light for US production from Mr. Welburn, but nothing like that was mentioned. Oh well, we can dream can't we? Anyway, there's a press release after the jump and we'll have some fine photos of this Chinese carry out and lots of other show coverage you can follow at our Detroit Auto Show tag page. If you're more net savvy, hit up the RSS feed for your fave feed reader — or just keep madly hitting refresh on our main page — whatever works best for you.

Detroit Auto Show: Chinese Buick Riviera Concept to Make North American Debut at Detroit

The boys over at the blog that likes to spend more time Kicking Tires than not reminded us of a little Zeta-platformed concept designed jointly by GM and SAIC that we'd totally forgotten we hadn't yet seen in person, but we need to be looking for at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It's quite possibly the most amazing Buick concept car we've ever seen — the Chinese Buick Riviera concept car. The Riviera concept made its initial debut at the Shanghai Auto Show last year, and now it'll be coming to make it's North American debut at none other than the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS — it's the fancy name for the Detroit Auto Show). Basically, it'll be the first time we've seen a Buick sedan we'd actually want to buy. Well, at least since the GNX anyway.
