想评论一下目前国内研发能力最强的泛亚的最新作品——于本次上海车展首次发布的别克商务概念车。



记得还在新员工培训的时候就已经听说了这辆车了，那么至少说起来，应该有一年了。
关于这个设计别的我不想多说，主要是看到几位设计人员的效果图，不禁有点感想。
仔细的朋友肯定会发现，前两张方案图风格很运动，车身低矮而修长——更容易让让人直接联想到的是本田的奥德赛。
很多设计师在作图的时候都会有这个比例和风格拿捏不准的问题。也许有人说，这是为了更夸张地表现出一些关键的设计元素而为止。
其实，明理人都清楚，这是没有的事。只不过是设计师的自我风格在作怪罢了。

很多设计师把图做得很漂亮很有张力，但是似乎把这图最重要的作用给忽视了——“图 －> 产品”之间的连接被无意地切断了。结果产生了图和最终产品有差异甚至大得惊人的地步。  



很显然，这部定位于商务的MPV更多是针对行政而非家用，强调的是舒适、豪华而非运动感和燃油经济性。
最后，当成品出现的时候，熟悉别克GL8的人会觉得很怪，因为车身比例似乎变得高了，而且设计语言充满了过多日式口味。
如果把花哨的车灯改成普通车灯，这辆车是否仍然可以吸引你呢？
因为，一旦量产，这LED的头大灯保留的可能性是很小的。如果车身本身没有什么吸引力的话，那么最后的产品仍将平庸。



可喜的是，泛亚的设计能力很强，这部车的设计程度已经异常接近量产了，有兴趣的朋友可以拿Buick Business Concept的车门和我在之前博文中提到的中华概念车车门做个对比！

终于，之前因为企业面临危机而推迟发布的别克新君越，即将在接下来的09年底特律车展上登场。据说很多品牌将不参加……果然是惨淡。
之前也关注这辆车很久，因为当年我是目睹了第一批现款国产君越走下生产线的，多少有点感情。
我几乎是第一时间，将网上找到的官方照片中最喜欢的一个角度拿来作为本帖第一张题图。
这张图也表达出我对这辆车外形设计方面的一些看法。
下面的STUDIO照中，摄影师着重突出了新一代别克的关键元素——充满肌肉感的肩线。要我说，这肩线还是明显得有些突兀，特别是与头灯交接区域的处理相当奇怪。还不如像题图这般隐隐约约就好。



另外，这头灯和宝马5头灯的感觉还是过于接近。而尾灯则有一些丰田车系的影子。莫非美国人领悟到中庸的好处了？
不知这精致的排气口会不会留到量产版上，当然也可以像丰田睿智一样只是做个外壳，里面还是一样丑。



此车的轴距应该是比现行款要长，感觉后座空间一定很宽敞，绝对可以满足商务用途。
内饰方面除了沿用很酷的冰晶蓝背景灯光外，还增加了前挡风投影显示，不错。让我们期待国产车型早日上市吧。

Buick’s long heritage of leading designs, such as the Y-Job Concept, the Roadmaster and the Riviera, helped define American automobile design through the years, according to Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. Today, Buick design is a product of a global team and resources. Creative collaboration between designers in the United States and China, in partnership with the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) as well as chassis and body engineers in Europe, resulted in the first General Motors vehicle to be created on three continents.

“The new LaCrosse is intended to represent modern elegance,” said Welburn. “Throughout the design, you experience a balance of contrasts. Both the interior and exterior have been designed with harmony in mind. The exterior balances taut, sculpted lines with sensuous accents and surfaces. Inside, smoked chrome accents, warm wood, first-class leather and materials combine with cool blue ambient lighting to create an inviting environment.”

The exterior design is faithful to the Buick Invicta show car introduced at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show.

“It is instantly recognizable as a Buick, with its signature ‘sweep spear’ body-side styling, portholes inside the character line on the hood, and waterfall grille,” added Welburn.

Luxurious interior experience

Inside, the two-tone interior is defined by a flowing, uninterrupted design theme that wraps around the instrument and door panels. Attention to detail is evident throughout the interior, including the analog instrument cluster, chrome offset by dark wood accents, and the contrasting thread and French stitching on the instrument panel.

Buick’s signature QuietTuning – an engineering process to reduce, block and absorb interior noise – provides a distraction-free passenger environment.

An unexpected, inviting touch is the cool blue ambient lighting throughout the cabin from the center console, instrument panel and door panels.



Intelligent personal technologies

The contemporary atmosphere of the cabin includes the digital connectivity and personal technology offered in the new LaCrosse. That includes features such as in-dash navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, an auxiliary audio input and a USB port. For rear-seat passengers, a power rear-window sunshade and a DVD entertainment system, with two display screens integrated into the seatbacks, is available.

LaCrosse’s intelligent technologies also work to deliver a 360-degree field of vision behind the steering wheel, for a greater feeling of comfort, security and safety. It starts with the available head-up display in the windshield, allowing the driver to monitor speed while keeping his or her eyes on the road. At night, the available adaptive lighting package can direct the high-intensity discharge headlight beams up to 15 degrees for enhanced illumination of the road and its curves.

LaCrosse offers Side Blind Zone alert that notifies the driver if a vehicle in adjacent lanes is traveling in the driver’s blind spot. The LaCrosse is also available with a rear view camera, with the display integrated into the navigation system screen.

The technology available on LaCrosse enhances a suite of standard safety features that is designed to meet the criteria for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 20 Star Safety Rating. Highlights include front-, side- and roof-mounted head-curtain air bags, StabiliTrak stability- and traction-control system. The safety and security of OnStar is also included for the first year of ownership.

Responsive performance

LaCrosse’s stiff body structure serves as the foundation for precise suspension tuning, safety and a quiet ride. Buyers can choose from a family of efficient, direct-injection six-cylinder engines and a fuel-conserving six-speed automatic transmission with tap-up/tap-down control.

The direct injection engines in the LaCrosse create more power with less fuel and reduce vehicle emissions through greater combustion control – particularly cold-start emissions that are reduced by up to 25 percent.

The 2010 LaCrosse will be offered in three models - CX, CXL and CXS:

* CX – equipped with a new 3.0L direct injection V-6, premium cloth seats and 17-inch wheels. The 3.0L engine generates an estimated 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 211 lb.-ft. of torque (286 Nm) and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
* CXL – also equipped with the new 3.0L direct injection V-6, adds leather-appointed heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, outside rearview mirror with LED turn indicators and puddle lamps, and 18-inch wheels. Intelligent AWD is available.
* CXS – equipped with a 3.6L direct injection V-6; real-time active-dampening suspension; perforated, leather-appointed, heated and cooled seats, and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels (19-inch optional). The 3.6L engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, generates an estimated 280 horsepower (209 kW) and 261 lb.-ft. of torque (354 Nm).

LaCrosse production will begin this summer at the Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas City, Kan.

最近实在是没啥好写的。
不过这周去验收了广东地区第一家改造完成的别克展厅。
这次又犯傻了，我的a350电池没装进机器，结果就是白带了一个重家伙过去……
还好我兄弟带了一个D80，虽然以前没用过，随便摸索一下就硬上算了！总的来有些地方说有点曝。

下面让我为大家介绍一下崭新的别克展厅吧，呵呵。

这次的新展厅风格是由荷兰设计大师登贝的公司为通用设计的。总体感觉比较清爽简洁。展厅很多地方用到了水平方向的直线条给人一种动感。
话说这家店位于汕头市，这次改造之后也将成为当地最棒的展厅了。虽然还没有开始正式营业，但是展厅的人气还是很高的，直接影响到了本人的拍照工作……



随处可见的主要元素有黑色线条、樱桃木墙面以及白色。



下图为一个休闲接待区域。



看完销售展厅以后，我们再看看充满阳光感觉的售后接待大厅吧。桌面上还应该有果汁机哦，还没买来吧。



今年一年里类似的的别克展厅就会像雨后春笋一般在全国各地冒出来把别克原来过时的形象一扫而光。
最近很多兄弟都买车了，大家也的确是差不多到了买自己第一台车的时候了，所以，欢迎各位有空也来别克展厅坐坐咯。我们别克的服务态度绝对是很多日本品牌比不上的哦。
