Vehicle Highlights
Buick's flagship sedan comes in base and Ultra models, both with a 3.8-liter V6 and automatic transmission. Ultras have a supercharger that boosts horsepower from 205 to 240. ABS, self-leveling rear suspension, and leather upholstery are standard. A front bench provides 6-passenger seating; bucket seats are an Ultra option. Optional on the base Park Avenue and standard on Ultra is the Gran Touring Package that includes a firmer suspension. Ultra also replaces 16-inch alloy wheels with 17-inch chrome-plated wheels. Optional on the base Park Avenue and standard on Ultra are OnStar assistance, StabiliTrak antiskid system, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitor. A rear-obstacle-warning system and a head-up display are optional on both.
