Al Harrison 03-04-2003, 12:27 PM Are the 2004 GTO out yet.If so i think i saw one driving down the road going in oppsite direction of me but couldn't get a good look.If so that is one sweet ride.Pictures that i have seen dont do it any justice.
I seen that car again today.But this time we were going the same direction.I caught up to it.It was Lumina SS.That is one sweet car.I wish they would sell it here.Or do they somwhere.I talked to him for a mintue at a light and then we went heads up where i left in the dust.
No they are not out yet. They are and are gonna be confused with just about every other Pontiac very easily.
guionM 03-04-2003, 02:20 PM Since you're in Arizona, you may have seen that California Grand Prix GT. It has hood scoops, a spoiler, and does in fact look sweet (too bad it's FWD, or I would have been looking seriously at one).
GTO is taking it's place (as IZ28 said, it ain't out yet) this fall.
I'm debating weather to get in line to get one, or wait for Mustang, or go with "other" options. Next year's Auto show will be my determining factor. ;)
Al Harrison 03-04-2003, 02:57 PM Thanks for the reply's.If i wasnt go so fast maybe i would of got a better look.I dont think it was a grand prix.It was smaller like fbody size and it was two door.I am going to do some invesgation.That maybe the replacement for the Z.

This is one special edition with the hood scoops. The one they put together for here in So Cal was a coupe that had those scoops, different wheels, probally the same rear spoiler, & chrome dual exhaust tips. Soon as I find it I'll post it here.

Look in my orginal post for the updata.
guionM 03-11-2003, 02:58 PM Chevrolet Lumina SS is what the Holden Commodore SS is called when exported to the middle east or other countries where the Chevrolet name is still used (Caprices were once extremely popular in the middle east because they were very durable. Holdens also are extremely durable...Impalas are not).
Being that GM-NA's new RWD sedans are due out within 3 years, Holden's new Commodore is due out within 2 (on the same chassis we'll have here), It's probable that the Lumina SS you saw was more than a little significant! :)
Al Harrison 03-12-2003, 04:00 PM I was just thinking about that car.It was left hand drivin.How does a car not made here be left handed?Is it possible something that they going make here now.
Al Harrison 03-12-2003, 04:01 PM Does anybody have pic of the Lumina SS?
Ude-lose 03-13-2003, 01:50 AM The only Lumina SS I know of in the states is the one mentioned here - http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=253332
but this one isn't silver...
Al Harrison 03-13-2003, 10:02 AM The one i saw was a little different.The only differnce would be the grill.It was like malibu or impala grill.It had chrome peice going threw the middle with bow tie in the middle of it.But eveything else is the same as in those pic above.
guionM 03-13-2003, 11:54 AM It's the new, updated Chevrolet Lumina SS, made by Holden from the Commodore. It's has alot of the (US friendly) improvements made on the latest edition Monaro/GTO. Although it's primarily made for the middle east, and no announcement or hints have come out, it's very likely to end up here as well (briefly or as a limited edition) IF there are no issues with Holden's ability to actually produce enough of them.
Being that Holden WAS intending to export the UTE as the El Camino (a thank you is owed to the US's 25% Tarriff on imported trucks:cry: ), this car is next in line.
For those of you who want to see what replaced the B-body in the middle east, and what Al Harrison saw, here ya go:

Al Harrison 03-13-2003, 12:31 PM Great job guionM!That is excatly what i saw.Man you have to see that car in person.It is awsome looking car.Even those picture of it dont do it any justice.But still look badass.I would love to have one of those to replace my camaro one day.
mcsslover1987 03-13-2003, 01:26 PM I love the looks and performance of the Commodore/Lumina and I wish they would bring them here to us deserving Americans. Also I wish they would bring this to us also... http://www.gmarabia.com/chevrolet_cars/caprice/caprice.htm This can be the next Impala SS for the good old USA :bow: I just wish they would make them 2 door Impys again. :bow: But beggers can't be choosy. LOL
SCNGENNFTHGEN 03-14-2003, 03:03 PM Anyone else find it a bit ironic that they can get these cars and we can't considering whats going on in the world right now? :( :mad:
SFireGT98 03-15-2003, 10:12 PM i think its way more than ironic :)
Confusing bit of info on that link though. says the Caprice can come with an Ecotec V6??? thought the Eco was GM's new 4 banger block introduced a year or two ago. whats with this v6 talk?
