Man that car is sweet. I got my hands on a rare 92 lumina z34 5 spd 3.4 DOHC High Performance engine pushing close to the orignional 275 hp that the motor was intended to put out for the american market. Been a lumina z34 fan for years. Nice to see the name lives on but I miss the camaro/monte carlo look that mine has.

I live in South Africa, here the Chevy Lumina is a popular choice with V8 fanatics ,the car is exactly the same as the pictures posted , only it is in right hand drive form, I am an active PONTIAC nut , I have a, 70 GTO and a,80 TRANS AM. I would like to know if its at all possible to get a 05 pontiac hood , front bumper and rear bumper to change my 05 " lumina " into an 05 PONTIAC GTO, If I achieve this , I will own the only , 05 " PONTIAC GTO " IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Well if you think thats dull, try ya hands on a HSV, its like Australia's Mercedes-Benz most would say, ohh yer and HSV has now the fastest ute in the world, it does around 275km stock. Gotta love the cars from down under. HSV Built the GTO, which in other countries is called Vaxhull GTO, or the Pontiac GTO. Have a look at our beloved Clubsport R8, its a true blue this one. www.hsv.com.au

I'm sure the "SS" version is a real hit in the Middle East, for crying out loud, could that "SS" be any closer to the Third Reich unit's logo?
FFS, drive that to Hamtramck.

GM: put a six-cylinder diesel and a six-speed manual in this and I'll buy it tomorrow.

Nothing was changed on the Commodore to make it a Middle East Lumina besides the BADGES. It is exactly the same car Australian's drive except for the badges and left-hand drive.
More was done the Monaro to make it the Pontiac GTO than any other Holden export ever.
The bland comments in this thread are absolutely ridiculous. GM NA couldn't design a mainstream sedan this good looking if their lives depended on it, and it is a good deal more aggressive looking than any Camry or Accord. You'd never confuse it with either car if it was on the road here.
