Buick LeSabre, Buick Park Avenue, Olds Delta 88 Royale, and Olds 98 Regency.
All these cars share the same chassis with the Bonneville. In most cases, they share the same basic drivetrain as well. For the most part, the rear doors, rear window, trunk lid, and front end are different.....and in our case, a few lower body panels are added.

Nope. Buick just designed the fenders and back end to look that way. My Mom has a 94 LeSabre, and I can tell you, if anything, it'* slightly shorter. Her trunk has less room in it than mine. From underneath, you can't tell they're different cars. Pretty eerie. The dead giveaway is that all these cars have the funny little side windows behind the A-pillar that don't open.
Now you'll start seeing them EVERYWHERE.......even while you're asleep

Good morning all My neighbor across the street has a '92 98 and we both matched our cars up side x side and his car is like as long as the cadillac contours 203 in length. So I guess its all in the type of seats u have insidealso. His seats are thin but comfortable and has hell of leg room in it my car? **** even with the front seat all the way up I cant match hit space in the back. But the outside I guess thats just all fiberglass stretched out huh?

The PA and 98 are NOT H-Bodies. They are C-Bodies. Very similiar platform, but longer.
In total there are four C-Body cars: Oldsmobile 98, Buick Park Avenue, Cadillac DeVille & Fleetwood.
There are three H-Body cars: Oldsmobile 88, Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Bonneville.
As of the 2000 model year the H-body platform is no more, GM changed the Bonneville and LeSabre over to the new G-Body platform.
