Default H or G ?

So for the 100th time, is the 00+ Bonneville and Lesabre H or G body ? I hear one thing then I hear another.

I thought H body was done, gone.

Well, In 95 the Riviera and Aurora were the new G body. I have heard people say that in 00 the Lesabre and Bonneville went on the G chassis too.

In the 70'* H body was Monza, Skyhawk, Firenza and Sunbird.

They're H, but a new H. If you doubt it, read your VIN.

They're called an H body, but essentially they're a G body. My riv'* a G body and our 2000 Bonneville'* are almost identical chassis wise. if you look underneith they look nearly identical.

Older Monte Carlo are G, 1995+ are W.

OK thanks. I thought that at one time Custom you put up a descriptive artical on the new Bonneville and it said it was a G. Sure looks an awful lot like the 00 Aurora. Well I guess I'll go with the H being as thats on the VIN.

Fantastic 88, the FWD H body began in 86 with the LeSabre and Delta 88, then the Bonneville joined in in 87. These H bodies were based on a identical chassis, the FWD C body introduced a year earlier in 85 with the Electra, Park Ave and 98 Regency and actually the Deville too but not sure what year FWD Deville came out.
