It's a solid play. The new CTS is a far better car than previous. Go for it.
 
I can not get used to the Arts and Science.

Yeah maybe I can do some body mods or something---perhaps monochrome the car or some such. It's awkward to my eyes. But then again, I'll be behind the wheel so I won't have to look at it too much.

That's the ticket, get out and never look back. Close your eyes before entering! At least the interior on the new one will not give you indigestion!

No problems so far. Replaced the battery about a year or so ago and that's it.

It's an '88 Park Ave.
 
Outside of the paint problem and a slightly split driver's door arm rest, not much that bothers me. The radio/cassette deck still works. It blows icy cold A/C. The interior is in excellent condition. It has new tires and brakes. It's got a couple of small dents here and there, but that's my fault and not the car's.
 
Best thing about my beater is I can take it anywhere and can rely on it to get me out of anywhere. Heck, a doctor might find 35 things wrong with me, but I could still live to be 100 regardless.

True. My 1989 Cadillac Brougham is spartan compared to today's luxury cars. Heck, a new Hyundai Elantra probably has more features. I thought my 2002 Cadillac Seville STS was a loaded car, but even it seems like a plain jane compared to my Cadillac DTS Performance which has far more features than I'll ever use - or even figure out!

"If Buicks were 'luxury' than what are Mercedes, Lexus, 7 Series BMWs, Bentley, etc. 'Super Luxury'? 'Ultra Luxury'?"
  
If Buick Park Avenue is luxury, then PA Ultra represents "Ultra Luxury." How could it be otherwise? Not ready to pass the Grey Poupon quite yet? Okay, then, if PA isn't quite luxury, but merely near-luxury, then PA Ultra crosses the line into luxury, no?
  
I'd say PA Ultra meets the definition of American luxury. As for "Super Luxury," Buick once had a "Super" in its lineup, but since it was less super than the mighty Roadmaster, then maybe it could have been categorized as "almost near-luxury."

Luxury to me means rich, unattainable, special. The PA is just a mass-produced Buick with softer seats. I don't get the luxury part. How can luxury be common and ordinary? Makes no sense. Will we be talking about the luxury of the Malibu next? Hope not
