The full-size LeSabre sedan in new Celebration trim supports body-color lower fascia and rocker moldings, and a monochrome badge up front with the oval grille displaying blacked-out bars inside a chrome ring. Side mirrors contain a clever safety feature, as bright chevrons appear on the surface of the mirrors and blink on and off each time the turn signal lever is activated. Celebration comes in two new premium paint choices -- Crimson Pearl (a deep and robust red) and White Diamond -- plus a standard shade called Light Bronzemist. LeSabre segments into two trims, Custom and Limited, the latter used as foundation for Celebration. Standard seating brings a 55/45 split bench in front, but a 45/45 design with console is optional. Special refinements with Celebration extend to two-tone leather seats, wood-grain trim in Black Cherry lining instrument panel and door panels. Options range from a sunroof and Gran Touring suspension to the subscription-based XM satellite radio service with superior sound quality and coast-to-coast reception through a hundred digital channels.
