Test details:
The Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville were redesigned for the 2000 model year, and the Oldsmobile Aurora was redesigned for 2001. All 2000 and later Buick LeSabre models manufactured after April 1999 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. All Bonneville and Aurora models include these same improvements (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of a LeSabre with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.
The Oldsmobile Aurora was dropped after the 2003 model year, and the Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville were dropped after the 2005 model year. The LeSabre was replaced by the Buick Lucerne.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the shoulder belt housing.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that injuries to the head would be possible. Head acceleration from the shoulder belt housing hit was low.

This test, and the actual episode of dateline where they explain the results, is the reason I have a 2004 LeSabre. I've always had bigger cars or trucks. Its good to come on here and see how cars fair before you actually buy one. I have the side seat airbags in mine. Its a very well built car. I've even modified mine quite a bit with better suspension, and upgraded brakes. I plan on an L67 (supercharged) swap next year. And I hate seeing them ghetto'd out, too.

These are GREAT cars. I've owned one now for 6 yrs and put countless miles on it traveling state to state. It is unfortunate to see that people have to put 20-24" rims on them and speakers that shake bolt loose, it tends to give these cars the "ghetto cruiser" appeal. But hey, they are good at taking potholes and not spilling your homies 40oz. LOL
