The new headlights aren't a surprise as they are on the cop Caprice that was just revealed.

The Chinese market is like a nightmare of local and international brands. Surely at some point some Chinese brands will die. (after checking out China car times)

Re: Buick Park Avenue facelift spotted in China

I don't see any difference. How are those headlights different? Looks like the same car that's been available for years:

Re: Buick Park Avenue facelift spotted in China

The colored Tri-shield badges make me angry....it is a Buick and is so proud of it.

Chinese people appreciate Buicks more than we do. So sad.

I wish the tri-color insert would return to ALL Buicks, the US included. The Cadillac crest is fully colored, why can't the Buick emblem be?

Cadillac has to be differentiated some how you know.

Re: Buick Park Avenue facelift spotted in China

Nothing that stands out too much but overall I think the new headlights are a nice update. I have to say that the Chinese Buick Park Avenue has a very nice interior.

Re: Buick Park Avenue facelift spotted in China

Main difference I can see in the two photos is the vent on the side behind the wheel. The lights are slightly different. If you look closely the surround on the outer lamp looks a little different so the the light itself may be a different type. It certainly look different from photos of early Park Avenues. Also they may have changed the door handles. Hardly big changes either way.

Re: Buick Park Avenue facelift spotted in China

I guess the Caprice cop car finishes any minute chance of the Park Ave appearing in the US.
