I know the details are different I'm talking the overall shape and a quick glance from a distance. I think it looks more like the GP then any other Wbody in the 97-03 body styles.

I like the creasing on the quarter panels. Kinda gives it a muscular look. Not your current typical Buick styling theme.

And the wide "hips".,
They look similar in this picture, begining in the rear door window over the rear wheels.

Alex cheers

I agree it does look similar if you take out the headlights and just look at the lines

Yeah the basic lines i understand hell if you had my 99 4 door next to my neighbors intrigue you could see similarities same for the regal. I love the new buick theme that they are going with. Lets us know that they are still alive and the pace maker is working hehehehe

Ha yea, although I like the way buick is designing their new cars as well, it keeps the aged classic look that is Buick yet still looks lux and profound enough to stand out in a crowd
