Chevrolet Lumina comes to the Philippines

[mazdamazda]

Chevrolet Lumina, now only Php999k! bili na! heheheh

actually, that's not bad at all... especially if you'll be chauffer driven in one.

[carlocaraddict]

is this a sign that the Chevrolet Epica is coming in?

[basti08]

999k, that's a desperate move. let's see if someone will bite it.

It's not just a desperate move. It's a prelude to US-style incentives in order to increase market share. Ford has been doing these deals for a long time, but none on the scale of the discounts GM is giving. There was an on-paper announcement a few weeks back on a 350k discount on the Tahoe... or the equivalent amount in free gas. This was in parallel with a similar promo done by GM in the US... buy a Chevy SUV, get free gas for a year.

Deals like this helped move a few more units of the slow selling Aveo. GM is hoping it'll do the same for the Lumina.

Pros? If it does give them market share, maybe other automakers will follow.

Cons? Fully aware of the US Market muddle caused by such fire-sale stock-clearing marketing strategies, I doubt the other makers will follow. And if they do... say goodbye to your resale values.

just like the Escape promo before * 999k

[kimpOy]

999K? wow ang mura...
but i'd rather buy a Pre-Owned Nissan Patrol

[gearspeed]

Dahon ceebik na lang bibilhin ko sa 999k katumbas na rin ng CRV yun ah..

[eggman]

999K nalang nga yung Lumina lalo na ang laki nung discount sa Tahoe at Suburban these days(350K pero 8-10 month old na yung car sa stockyard....).Sana next time 950-890k na!!

whenever i see a Lumina, the owner is usually an american... i guess "love your own"

[smirky20]

To compete with the Camry, Cefiro, Accord? this car is for grey haired people.
I got took the pics in GM AutoWorld Makati during break time. Tail lights resembles the 2002 Altis.

The "Lumina" sold in the RP was a rebadged "chinese facelift" of the Buick Regal manufactured by Shanghai GM. This chinese Buick Regal is based on the 1997-2004 USDM Buick Regal.
Engine was a 2.5 liter OHV V6.

Chinese Buick Regal (RP market Lumina)


USDM Buick Regal (1997-2004)


The original Lumina was a FWD mid-size/large American sedan produced introduced in 1989 as a 1990 model.
The second generation Lumina was introduced for the 1995 model year...

...this was replaced by the FWD Impala which was introduced for the 2000 model year.

Outside North America, the "Lumina" name is used for rebadged models like the RWD Chevy Lumina which is a Holden Commodore and the RP market FWD Chevy Lumina which was a chinese Buick Regal.

It was the former GMPh President, James Lim who tried to bring in the aging Shanghai GM models. (Lumina and Venture)

Always thought the RP market Lumina looked cool because it reminds me of those unmarked police cars used by undercover detectives in the US.

[KoKoNAT]

Man, you guys are shafted. At least sa ME, the Chevrolet Lumina they get is a re-badged RWD Holden VE Commodore SS with the 6.0L V8 made in Holden's Elizabeth plant here in South Australia. Also the US will be getting the new Commodore re-badged as the Pontiac G8.

anu ba yan.. akala ko pa naman ganito ang lumina na dadalhin dyan sa pinas.


Ito yung Lumina SS version V8 engine pero meron din S version na V6 pareho lang ang body kit pinagkaiba lang engine, at upuan at meron pa mga maliit na differences


kasi kung ganyan, sa pinas ko na bibilhin hindi na dito sa Dubai. =)
nakaka dismaya =(

Katabi pala niya is Caprice. =)

[eggman]

Puwede yan sana rito pero wala namang interes ang GM Philippines dahil sobrang mahal daw.

Dami dito nyan sa Saudi. Wala ba ganito sa Pinas?

Poging-pogi ito. Sobra ganda ng porma.

[renzo_d10]

The lumina ss looks like the chevy cobalt.

[LeOxe]

diba meron nang binebentang chevrolet lumina dito sa atin a few years back?

pero maganda naman yung new model. mukhang medyo conservative lang yung design & not screaming "sporty".

Chevrolet Lumina SS is a rebadged Pontiac G8 and Holden Commodore
