I thought the Mideast version was called the Lumina.

Either way, I'll believe it when I see one on the road.

it is not a re-badged G8, it in fact has a longer wheelbase that any other GM car. The car is based off of GMs rear wheel drive architecture that is the basis for their rear drive cars today.
