Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here – the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 – is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.

Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.

Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

MG teases CS crossover ahead of Shanghai debut

Come the Shanghai Auto Show and MG is ready to debut its CS crossover concept there. A compact crossover this, it reeks of British design elements like the multi-faceted headlamp which refract light in different colours. That they coalesce to make the MG logo is a different story. With this model, MG hopes to jump into the lucrative compact SUV bandwagon and increase its presence globally.

More details about this SUV will emerge on April 20.
