Talk:Buick Park Avenue

message: I'm just wondering, because the information about Park Avenue on this page only goes back to the beginning of the 90's.  The PA was definitely available before then, although it was also known as the electra for some time.  --Alphachimp talk 04:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: 3.5.07 - Rearranged information slighty to reduce duplication, added details regarding last 3000 Park Avenues, slight grammatical/format revision for a better read. --User:Flybrian --24.96.69.81 00:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Changes 

message: This was getting too large to put into comments on article edits, so I'm moving it here.  I was making modifications to the first two generations of this car (as they are the only ones sold in America and the only ones with which I was familiar) because they had no information on the drivetrain layout, which is a particulary glaring omission.  I mistakenly assumed they were FWD because GM was looking to entirely phase out RWD, particularly with Buick, which had no sports cars.  And, as it turns out, I was half-wrong, because the first-generation was the last RWD car made by Buick.
I hardly believe that it is "talking down" to User:PrinceGloria by requesting that if he is going to replace my mistaken edit that he do so with the real information rather than just blank space which benefits no one.  If he chose to look at what I did, he would notice that I only modified the two generations which didn't already have a layout designation; I did not and do not dispute that the current Chinese model is RWD.

replies: text: You've put the FF layout in the main infobox, which I reverted as incorrect, as it cannot be applied to all Park Avenues (the current generation is not FWD, as mentioned). The main infobox should only contain information that pertains to all renditions of the car discussed. PrinceGloria (talk) 23:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: RWD/FWD

message: Hi, I am the same person as the 71.xxx.xxx.xxx person but currently at work. I had seen the Sable guy revert an edit contributed by me as "unsourced" when I have provided a hidden explanation in the article. That was uncalled for and I was quite offended by it. The 1996 Roadmaster and the 1997 Park Avenue Ultra are very similar in size, price, and performance. In fact, the Park Avenue Ultra was the second-quickest full-size sedan (according to a variety of magazine tests) just behind the Roadmaster LT1. The 1996 Park Avenue was a much smaller vehicle than either of the former two. If the Park Avenue isn't the Roadmaster's successor, then what is it? I had seen none listed prior to my edits. 24.180.55.100 (talk) 21:40, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The Park Avenue did not automatically become the Roadmaster's predecessor simply by staying in production, and not every discontinued vehicle has a successor. The Park Avenue has its own lineage and unless Buick explicitly stated that the enlarged Park Avenue was meant to replace the Roadmaster, it's pure speculation and has no place here. Your hidden comment does not constitute a source - in fact, it's the very definition of original research. --Sable232 (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
