Buick Debuts Striking GL8 Flagship, Weird Smart Pod Concepts In China
A look into Buick's brain for a future of luxurious mobility.

The 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show is off and running, but across the globe, there's another prominent automotive event happening in southern China. Auto Guangzhou 2021 is showing all kinds of current and future offerings for the Chinese market, and Buick has an interesting take on the future with two prominent concepts called the GL8 Flagship and Smart Pod.
We'll start with the GL8 Flagship because it previews an actual vehicle. Buick currently offers its GL8 MPV (don't call it a minivan) in China, and this concept offers a taste of future models. And what a taste it is, starting with a bold face that smoothly transitions to a glass roof stretching the entire length of the vehicle. Beneath the glass is a flexible interior that offers multiple seat layouts and even includes a tea tray.
