That led to the overwrought 1999 Cielo and 2000 LaCrosse, all described as reviving the "Y-job-inspired" grille. Buick's first attempt at a four-seat roadster was the 2001 Bengal, an amorphous blob with the now requisite oval, vertical-slat grille and spacey, concept-car taillamps.“

„How close is the C-XF to the XF? "It's that styling direction, but it's not that car," says Callum, adding that "it's a less radical version of that shape." He characterizes the concept's design as "twenty percent exaggerated"--particularly in its low roofline, its wide track, and its pumped-up details.“
