  Back in 2007, Buick unveiled a cool Riviera Concept which many thought would move on to production form. Nothing has been heard about this concept since then, but on May 3rd General Motors filed a trademark for a Riviera name, citing it for use on automobiles. Although they did not say it would be used for a Buick model, the previous concept makes us consider this as an option. In fact, last year, it was rumored that GM wanted to produce a sporty coupe, possibly based on the rear-wheel drive Alpha platform. Then, at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the company announced it was considering bringing the Riviera name back, but in a rear-wheel drive form. The concept unveiled back in 2007 was a sporty coupe built on an Epsilon front-wheel drive platform. So, the Riviera name may be used either for either a production version of the concept which would arrive sometime in 2015, or a new Riviera concept. We’re hoping for the first scenario! .
12 comments: GM Trademarks Riviera Name Riviera will be my most awaited vehicle. I can’t stop looking at its exterior, and it has a fresh look that GM may boast it.
 How long will it take? It’s been a while, but what GM always does is to keep updating it only, never releasing.
 We need an exact date, even if just a year, to know when it’s going to be produced. We are excited to see it personally on its unveiling!
