2000+ Bonneville is BIG
People usually think that my Aurora is a bigger car than the Bonneville is, but the opposite is actually the truth. It'* the shape of the Aurora that makes it look bigger, but the Bonneville is actually slightly larger than the Aurora is!
In this picture in a front shot, the Aurora does look slightly larger than the Bonneville
but.....
in this view you can see that the Bonneville is actually 3-4 inches longer. The Bonn is has its rear tire against a cement parking barrier while the Aurora is even an inch from the barrier for comparision.
So is it safe to say that the H body may just be a longer version of the G body that Oldsmobile/Buick uses?

IRC, the 00+Bonnieand Aurora actually share the platform.
The G- body came out with the Riviera and Aurora, then in 97 the Park Ave got a bigger version of the G, and it was lumped in with the older C-body designation.
When the LeSabre, Bonnie and Aurora received their redesigns, the all went to a G-body based platform. The LeSabre and Bonnie continued to be called H-bodies, and the Aurora stayed the G-body. But, under the skin they are basically the same car, except that the Aurora got the V8.
