The Buick Avenir has been handed down this year’s year’s EyesOn Design Award for the “Best Designed Concept Vehicle,” at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The EyesOn Design Awards “honor the most significant automotive designs revealed at NAIAS,” the organizations says, and are chosen by “North American and global leaders of design from automotive manufacturers,” and other design leaders.
The Avenir was given the best design concept award as it is “something special that you could tell designers really liked doing,” and “represents presence, elegance, (and) sportiness all rolled into one.” It beat out other concept vehicles presented at the show including the Mercedes-Benz F 015, Infiniti Q60 Coupe and General Motors’ own Chevrolet Bolt.
