The car looks like it's ready to gobble miles of interstate in an instant. Projector-beam headlights are set into a large wraparound lens assembly on either side of the grille, the inside edges serving as the starting point for a flowing crease in the sheetmetal that defines the hood, sweeps along the lower edge of the greenhouse, and separates the trunk lid from the rear quarter panels. The Park Avenue's design projects a strong presence and commands respect. Of course, not all is perfect with this new Buick. For starters, there is no fuel cap tether, which means your options are to set the cap on the paint, or on the gas pump where it could easily be forgotten.
Storage is pathetic up front.
Shallow map pockets in the doors, a tiny glovebox, and a small center storage armrest can't handle enough stuff, especially with the flimsy plastic cupholders stowed away. Secondary radio controls are minuscule and difficult to operate. Raise the seat to its highest position, and the upper portion of the gauge display is cut off by the top of the dashboard. Speaking of gauges, a serif font for numbers and letters would lend an air of class to the cabin. Place the steering wheel for straight line driving, and several secondary controls to the left of the wheel are obscured from view, including the fuel door release and the cruise controls.
