Is it me or are Bonnevilles cool looking
The 92-99 style has something I can't quite put my finger on that makes it look sweet, that you don't see in many cars nowadays, especially ordinary ones. At the end of the day it'* basically a bland-as-can-be Buick Lesabre, but with some subtle differences that really make it stand out. It certainly aged better than its contemporaries like the first generation Intrepid, oval-Taurus, and extremely plain looking Japanese cars

I could do with or without the side trim, but details like the side mirrors (which I sincerely missed in the '00), old-timey divided glass in the driver/front pass window (does this have a name?), the way the greenhouse merges with the roof, and the C-pillar with that "hoffmeister" kink, and that beautiful *** really just impress me in a car like this. Some people would say it'* overdone, but I think it'* one of the great designs of the 90'*, relatively speaking. I park mine next to E38s and E39s and it doesn't look out of place in the least, except for maybe the butter face. Then there'* the fact that mine gets 40mpg highway for some reason, take that for what it'* worth; to me it'* worth a lot.

It'* the reason we are all here. An awesome car, designed fresh for the 90'* and unique enough they still look fresh nearing 2 decades later.

I'm sure members with younger kids view our topics from time to time. Lets not be that club that allows shop talk on the table.
Ok to your topic of discussion:
I've always thought the same as you...92-95 was really boyishly cool...96-99 lost a bit of it but still looks cool.

I'm no angel, and this isnt a kiddie forum. The issue to me, is the search bots. And where and how they rank us. Search engine hits are our #1 provider for exposure, new members, and ad revenue. Let'* act civil. It' not that hard or a big issue. There are enough acronym
/Initials to put emotion into a post. Back to the thread'* original content please.
