the discontinued US Chevrolet Lumina was ugly, stodgy, had uncertain driving manners,questionable interior and weak engine (175hp at the end of its life in 2000).i had the displeasure of driving one as rental car in 2000.may it rest in peace and never come back.

2000 Chevrolet Lumina, USA

Here is the USDM Lumina and what it does mostly. Hindi siya malaki sa personal use market (dominated by the Accord and Camry). Ok naman ang fleet sales niya dahil malaki ang discounts at rebates ng GM para sa model na ito:

IMO, the Lumina is really for old people. I admit I got soooooooooooooo disappointed. Thinking I will see this Lumina:

Hindi ba iyan yung Opel-based Lumina? Hehehe.

Am now reading the price list of the GM line up. It says:"Introductory price for Chevrolet Lumina is good until March 31, 2005 only"

, so it is still subject to price increase, no way!

Hi Doc Otep, yung Lumina na nasa pic (yung gusto ko makita dito heheheh), is based on the platform of the Holden Commodore. That platform was also used in the Opel Omega, yun nga lang, Holden streched it. Sayang, it looks good, kulang nalang yung badge na Holden. When I was about to cross the street going to GM AutoWorld, natanaw ko na yung Lumina, kala ko talaga yung Lumina na gusto ko. So was really excited, pag pasok ko.................

, yung Buick Regal body! napa "nyeh" ako. Sana magkaroon ng test drive para mafeel ko yung car. First impressions ko palang itong hinihirit ko. heheheheh
