New for 2000: The Buick LeSabre gets redesigned for the 2000 model year. While the new model's exterior measurements are a bit shorter and narrower, the interior is actually roomier than the previous generation. Subtle styling changes appear throughout the car, such as less chrome and more body-color molding, giving LeSabre a more up-to-date look. The revised dashboard incorporates large, easy-to-read gauges, and safety has been improved through standard side airbags.

History: The LeSabre name was first used in 1951 on a futuristic concept car that featured cast magnesium and aluminum body panels as well as a supercharged V8 engine. In 1959, the LeSabre nameplate was put on a production model, and 165,577 were sold. Since its introduction, more than six million LeSabres have been sold, and it has held the full-size car sales crown for the last seven years. Because the LeSabre is already successful product, Buick decided against any drastic changes to its bestseller. However, many new features have been added, and the level of safety has been increased. The new LeSabre went on sale in March 1999.
Model years: 1988-91, 92-95, 96-99
