Notes
Along with its Bonneville cousin from GM's Pontiac division, the LeSabre
migrated onto the newest form of the corporate G-body chassis for 2000,
joining the Cadillac Seville & DeVille, and Buick's own Park Avenue.
Far more rigid than the old LeSabre's chassis, the new platform provided
a far more secure-feeling LeSabre for 2000. Still soft and comfortable in
its ride, the LeSabre nonetheless felt tighter than before.
