Quiet Servant, first shown on Buick's LaCrosse and Cielo concepts, is back -- featuring voice- activated controls from Visteon Corporation and a reconfigurable, color head-up display that shows gauges on demand. This enables the driver to control the car and its systems with voice commands or a four-position joystick on the steering wheel. As a result, the dashboard is simple and elegant and the driver operates the car with both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The system is capable of regnizing 6 languages and regional accents while ignoring surrounding sounds in the automobile, even in a convertible like the Bengal. The driver can issue more then 118 commands to the car.

For the first time in GM's history, a front wheel drive transmission is housed in front of the car's engine rather than behind it. This new placement of the engine and transmission brings the cars wheels 8 inches further forward, compared to the conventional GM powertrain layout, to achieve rear-wheel-drive vehicle proportions.
