Default New Lumina SS/ Pics.

I saw this today on I-70 at the Myersville exit in Md. It appears to be the new Lumina SS based on the G8 platform. I think the G8 is better looking. The car had a Lumina emblem on the back.

It appeared to be a test car and was well used, it was right hand drive and had some instruments mounted on the passenger side floor.

Looks like it is here now! I like the G8 better, but the Chevy is not that bad.

yes, we got the Lumina SS since 2000 in the middle east.
And the newest generation which is actually based on the Aussie Holden Commodore platform we got it since last year before the G8 was introduced in US

It was filthy inside and out. It had some notes on the dash about the next shift driver to watch the rear tire wear, so they must drive this thing 24-7.

If they'd redesign the honda riffic front bumper cover it may not be too bad.

yeh its our aussie built Holden VE SS, the VE being the latest model in the successful Commodore range. Those chev grills seem to be popular over here, being powered by your US made chev L98, lots of people swap out the original holden "lion" grills. I work for holden down here in oz, wasn't really a fan of the VE range either, but its slowly growing on me. Though I'd pick the VE utes over the sedan anyday, i believe you guys are getting the our ute as a pontiac G8 too?

GM seems to have a hard on for those style of wheels. They are putting them on everything.
