All have 5.7L engines...the LTZ has 295HP...the SS has 328HP... :wink:

They are based on the Holden models...and produced in Australia...

The 1st one is Lumina there , in Aus is Holden Monaro , in Us is the pontiac GTO

the white one here is the Lumina , the caprice is much bigger , and te last one looks like an old Opel ...

the Lumina SS is only available with a 4speed auto...which is very sad, coz the GTO has

a 6speed manual! :(

and I think that the GTO comes as a coupe, but the lumina has a 4door version...but

basically its the same!

sweet i like to Lumina SS much better than the GTO IMO, if your going to copy the Holden might as well copy it straight over, and not futs with its styling. The Caprice is pretty cool didnt know they made it still, Why doesnt North America get these models?

the US caprice has( at least had) the 5.7 L pushrod v8, and was the standard for police cruisers... top speed close to 160mph if i recall correctly

like every third car you see is a commodore. but i think toyota still leads most car sold in australia

as i said before, its a cop car, prime minister's car, crook car, taxi, family car, hoon's and whatever other stereotypes that goes with cars

Don't forget bogans! It's not that all Holden drivers are bogans but all bogans are Holden drivers.

Note - the non_US caprice is not even based on the same chassis as the international namesake - that US-spec Caprice coundn't even manage a 3-point turn without body roll... ;)

Due to their bad financial situation, Daewoo will be selling cars with a Chevy badge on the Polish market. Sucks, huh ??
