[mill_955]

i know that all of you was suprized when they read the topic

the chevrolet lumina that we have in the mideast is different than the one they have in the usa

actually its a holden commodore with a chevrolet emblem and a left hand drive (very simple) :)

Nice ride, congrats man, do you got some interior and engine pics :?

[Vansquish]

Well...fuck.

In the US we got this shitty Chevy-emblemed thing with front drive and an extremely flexible chassis, 4 speed automatic transmission...basically a competitor for the Taurus. Why the hell can't we get decent cars here? Oh....I forgot...hehehe...most (I said MOST, not ALL mind you) of the American public wouldn't be able to drive a powerful rear-drive car safely.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

^^^^^ha ha ha haha americans can't drive :lol: :lol: :lol: j/k :wink:

I dont have any pics for the engine at the moment but ill post some later :D

[SPEEDKILLAR]

And how does it drive, reliability and so on.

[mill_955]

the car has 5.7L LS1 engine, 325 hp

its is available with 4speed auto transmission and a rear wheel drive

basically its really really fast, this car can beat bmw m3, nissan 350z, porsch carrera...etc

it doesnt have much stability for a sport sedan, but i like when the rear wheels starts to spin around at every corner and the smoke from the tires 8)

and the ride is very comfortable too

they say the car is not reliable :? but I didnt have any troubles so far

[BADMIHAI]

Nice car dude! I like it!

[Tomerville]

Wow, that is hot never the less...too bad the US is so shafted

[muffinman2002]

Yeah, thats a really nice car. Looks like it would be a pretty good sleeper, too bad it doesn't come in a manual. Kind of looks like the new GTO in a way.

[Vansquish]

it ought to look like the GTO/Monaro...the GTO/Monaro is basically a shortened version of that car!

[altezza]

Congratz, nice car mate! :D
It's good that they start selling it as the GTO in the states

Here are some pics of the "not so good" Lumina in NA (some of them are still being used as taxis and police cars in Vancouver):

The lumina's are so bad, I think they replaced most of them with impala now. I believe the GTO is Monaro based, not Commodore. But they're nice cars nonetheless... if GM can actually fix all the reliability problem.

I like the lumina SS/GTO/Commodore you have there. Is it built in Australia?

[mill_955]

ahmedgiyab: sorry. I looked every where but I didnt find anything :|
but we are thinking about ordering a G-tech soon

AlienDB7: yes they build it in australia

[Zonda11]

Nice car...your right ...i expected to find the US piece of shit version.

[callen]

Nice Commodore..New VY model..

[PATo355]

Well that is a monaro , nice nice car man

[GTO]

it doesnt have much stability for a sport sedan, but i like when the rear wheels starts to spin around at every corner and the smoke from the tires 8)



You know about the Active traction control button right?

I'll be getting the Holden SS mid year, I dont know about the auto but
0-60 in 6sec 1/4mile in 14sec (6 speed man)

I got to drive the Holden Manro (GTO in USA). I defialty say its stable with ATC on in high speed corners an extremly easy car to drive.

[ahmedgiyab]

This car has the same basis as the Opel Omega...which is not so impressive!

I just don't understand that why a 4speed auto?!?!? Isn't it too old... :roll:

It is very fast but not reliable at all....and eats a lot!!!

But very cheap! In the Gulf its $25,000...(brand new)... :shock:

hard to get this much of Bhp for this money.... :lol:

[Kangaroo Boy]

Thats a Holden Commodore LHD,Not Monaro....

[dream]

wow....serious , i should consider getting that thing .....
wait till i am a little bit richer ; to feed the car

[brian]

^^^^^ha ha ha haha americans can't drive :lol: :lol: :lol: j/k :wink:

I take some shits bigger than most european cars.
