	The '''[[Buick]] Reatta''' was a "hand-made" luxurious [[sports coupe]] produced at the Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan from early 1988 through 1991. Like the [[Cadillac Allante]], It was based on a shortened and heavily modified version of the "[[GM E platform\|E-body]]" used by the [[Cadillac Seville]], [[Cadillac Eldorado]], [[Oldsmobile Toronado]] and most particularly the [[Buick Riviera]] with which it shared its advanced electronics and interior furnishings.

	The Reatta sported its own unique body style and was crafted with an attention to detail and quality and finish uncommon for a mass-produced automobile. Initially offered as a ~~[[hardtop]]~~ coupe, a convertible version was added for 1990. It used GM's ubiquitous [[GM 3800 engine\|3800]] [[V6]] and sported a fully [[independent suspension]] and [[front wheel drive]].

	During the first two years of contruction the Reatta, like its Riviera stablemate, featured a touch screen computer interface called the Electronic Control Center, or ECC. The touch screen controlled the radio and climate control functions, provided diagnostic access to the vehicle's various electronic systems and sensors. It also featured a date reminder, a trip computer, and a user configurable overspeed alarm.
