#NYIAS: CAR WARS! Design Showdown, Lincoln Continental Concept vs. Buick Avenir — WHO Wins?

In the world of automotive design, we've seen some great concepts and some pretty awful ones. Typically, the really flamboyant designs come out at either the Geneva Motor Show or Paris Motor Show. But, who would have thought that two of the most handsome designs would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) and 2015 New York Auto Show (NYIAS)?

Even better, they came from American automakers.

New York Auto Show

First up was General Motors' and its Buick Avenir. A modern, clean-sheet design with some Bentley influences — at least from my perspective — it's a very fresh take on what a next-gen Buick luxury car could look like. We gave it two thumbs up.

Second was the Lincoln Continental Concept at the NYIAS. Taking Bentley's design cues and using them to Lincoln's advantage in a more shameless fashion, the car is staggering.

BUT, we want to know WHICH car YOU think is the best design out of the two American concepts.

WHICH design takes the cake for you? The Buick Avenir or Lincoln Continental Concept?
