In a surprising move, Buick has decided to remove passenger cars from its North American lineup, leaving a void that has disappointed many fans. This decision has even caught the attention of the virtual automotive artist, Dimas Ramadhan, who has taken it upon himself to imagine a revived Buick Park Avenue sedan.
Ramadhan, known for his work on the Digimods DESIGN YouTube channel, has previously brought back other defunct American nameplates, such as the Cadillac Seville luxury sedan and the Dodge Magnum station wagon. Now, he has turned his attention to the Buick Park Avenue, creating a stunning CGI rendering of a hypothetical 2025 model.
Unlike its predecessors, this new Buick Park Avenue takes inspiration from the brand’s latest compact crossover SUV, the 2024 Buick Envista. With its sleek and contemporary design, the revived Park Avenue could fill the gap left by the outgoing Chevrolet Malibu as an affordable sedan option in General Motors’ lineup.
However, it’s important to note that this CGI creation is purely wishful thinking. General Motors has not expressed any intention of bringing back the Buick Park Avenue, especially as a budget-friendly sedan that may not generate substantial profits. The company’s focus remains on full-size crossovers, SUVs, and trucks, with the Chevrolet Corvette standing as the last remaining passenger car in their lineup.
Fortunately, Cadillac is still committed to passenger cars, evident in their CT4 and refreshed CT5 sedans, as well as the upcoming all-electric Celestiq flagship. While Buick fans may be disappointed by the absence of passenger cars, they can take solace in Cadillac’s dedication to the segment.
What are your thoughts on Buick’s decision and the possibility of a revived Park Avenue?
