Buick LeSabre

The 2000 LeSabre was introduced in 1999 as the Buick LeSabre 2000, still as an H-body, but now on the G architecture – the H designation becoming a book code, and a marketing platform. In 2000, the LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville were moved to the G platform, joining the 2nd generation of Oldsmobile Aurora. The Buick Riviera was canceled in 1999, and was not redesigned with the new generation G platform. The original G-car had previously only hosted the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Aurora, starting in 1995. The G platform was also the basis for the Buick Park Avenue, and the 2000 Cadillac DeVille, as well as the new 2006 Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS. Following the end of the 2000 model year, the automobile reverted to the Buick LeSabre nameplate. 2000 LeSabres carried over the previous Custom and Limited trim levels and in 2003 added a new Celebration Edition package in recognition of Buick’s Centennial. The Celebration Edition featured all the standard equipment of the Limited with a choice pearlescent White Diamond or Crimson Pearl tricoat paint schemes, a blacked-out grille, 16″ chrome wheels, and special badging. Other features optional or standard on the LeSabre included Stabilitrak, OnStar, EyeCue heads-up display, all-weather traction control, automatic load-leveling, side airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and RainSense automatic windshield wipers.
