I dunno how many of you know this, but for a long time now GM has being giving us the shaft by offering excellent vehicles not available in the U.S. Take this Lumina UTE. www.chevrolet.co.za/luminaUteHome.jhtml

A modern day El Camino that is based on the Austratian Holden Commador platform (forget the name). They also have a Lumina SS (4-door GTO). Both feature the 5.7 V8 and optional 6-speed trans. www.chevrolet.co.za/luminaHome.jhtml

Also other countries have still have a Caprice which is a large passenger car.

I actually had a 1996 Lumina with the 3.1 that was probably the most trouble free car I ever owned. However, it was part of the trade for my 01.

I don't understand this at ALL, from a business perspective or otherwise. I think the Lumina SS would be a very good seller in the U.S. and then there wouldn't so many of those nasty Impalas around. Even the Chinese Buick was a nice-looking ride. I'm a little tired of all the mid-size crap driving around nowadays.

I also had a lumina, mine was a 95, the only problems i had was the ignition column went out on mine, wasn't too expensive to repair though.

very true scotty, i wouldn't mind seein' those lumina ss' over here in the US.
