The Buick Cielo (Sky)

One of the most beautiful concept cars at the show. It can seat four in great comfort (five, if necessary) and has an automatically retracting roof. The panels and rear window slide aft and stack in the trank space, still leaving sufficient space for (I heard a minimum of two golf bags plus some space to spare) luggage. When open, the only thing left are the two longitudinal curved beams on the edge of the roof. It is a four-door, with the rear doors opening to the back, affording great ease of entry for all passengers. The concept car was equipped a voice command system. I saw that in operation, and while I never warmed up to the idea of voice operated computers in public spaces (just imagine the chatter, or the chance for interference), I didn't like it any better here. At this Cielo website you can see additional photos and descriptions of this impressive concept car.
