Start with what the Buick Bengal is: a 2-door roadster with 3.4 L V6, built from 2001, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Dave Lyon.

The engineering

Where it sits
In the Buick line-up the Buick Bengal has a clear place: it handed the line to the Buick Velite (concept). The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Honda Fit, the Porsche Cayenne, the Mazda Mazda6. Its Buick stablemates include the Buick First Call and the Buick Funeral Car.
