Buick's entry-level car makes a brief 2005 model-year run before ending production in late 2004. Century's upscale sibling, Regal, is dropped for '05. Buick replaces both with a new midsize sedan called LaCrosse (see separate report). Century bows out with a 175-hp V6, automatic transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a front bench seat for 6-passenger capacity. ABS bundled with traction control and a tire-pressure monitor is optional. A side airbag for the driver is available with the Limited and Special Edition option packages. The latter package is new for '05 and includes ABS, 16-inch wheels instead of 15s, and dual-zone climate control. OnStar assistance is also optional.
