2005 Buick Park Avenue - Review

Park Avenue

This more upscale version of the LeSabre enters its final year in its present form with a limited run of 8400 units, awaiting a total makeover for 2006. Adorned with trademark side-fender "Ventiports" and a standing hood ornament that links the line back to Buick's Golden Age, the Park Avenue is roomy, plush and posh, with a softer ride than you'll find in most of today's pricier makes. The base sedan comes with a 205-horsepower naturally aspirated version of this engine, shared with the LeSabre, that nets 205 horses, while a 240-hp supercharged 3.8-liter V-6 is available in the Ultra version for added muscle; both engines comes with a four-speed automatic transmission. A Grand Touring suspension is included on the Ultra that stiffens up the ride just a bit for improved handling. An all-new grille design highlights the

, and the final 3000 cars off the line will be badged as Special Editions and will include chrome wheels (with an exclusive wheel design optional on the Ultra). Several hundred of the Special Editions will be offered in an optional black and platinum two-tone color combination.
