Looks like the 555 from the WRC STI (without Solberg and Mills), but it is supposed to be the latest version of the Buick logo.

Sad but true.

Styling gets a so so maybe but gets a absolute Zero as far as a EV in my driveway. .................. drill sgt.

Nuthin' like my buddies Wildcat back in the mid 70's but I would love a test drive!!

Current version of a long time Buick Emblem with three shields Red, White and Blue

Symbol of prestige
Buick Motor Division’s famous “tri-shield” emblem, basically three shields inside a circle, can be traced directly to the Scottish ancestral coat of arms of David Dunbar Buick. Even earlier, in Buick Manufacturing Co. literature (a 1902/03 catalog) a depiction of Uncle Sam walking astride a world and pulling a Buick engine on a wheeled cart with slogan, “Known all over the world” is linked with brand history. The first widely recognized use of the Buick name was a large brass cursive “Buick” that appeared on the mesh radiator grille of early 1900s models. There is some controversy but it is believe in 1905 models could also be seen with “Buick Motor Company” in block letters and/or “Buick” on running boards.

It’s a tough crowd tonight.

GM has been talking big for a few years about all of the EV's they are going to produce. I can't hold my breath much longer

Ford's really the only manufacturer that's actually stepping up and doing it. They just can't turn out as many as Tesla yet. Big process to build or retool factories.

This think should definitely be aborted. Hideous. Just because it's a EV doesn't mean you have to make it look like a space ship inside & out.

Hmmm....looks like the designer of the Aztek must have come out of retirement for this one.....

Why not! I want my space ship, demand it actually, after all those years of the Jetsons telling me I'll have my own flying car, it needs to happen!

GM is actually doing it right. They are focusing on getting their battery plants up to speed first. Then like Tesla they are doing ground up EV platforms. Right now there are several companies who appear to be ahead but are mostly converted existing platforms to get to the EV market first.
