Chevrolet Lumina
The Chevrolet Lumina is a mid-size car that was produced and marketed by Chevrolet from the 1990 to 2001 model years. Serving as the combined successor for both the Chevrolet Celebrity and Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the Lumina was sold as both a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan. Serving as the largest front-wheel drive Chevrolet, the model line was slotted below the Caprice Classic in the Chevrolet line. For the first time, Chevrolet did not produce a mid-size station wagon, with Chevrolet instead marketing the Chevrolet Lumina APV minivan (sharing only its name with the mid-size cars). The Lumina coupe (in reconfigured form) served as the Chevrolet entry in stock-car racing, with the Lumina Z34 replacing the previous Monte Carlo SS. The final model released of the GM10 platform (today, GM W platform), the Lumina shares design commonality with the Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Pontiac Grand Prix, introduced as part of the transition of its divisional counterparts to front-wheel drive. During its two generations of production, the Chevrolet Lumina was assembled by GM Canada in its Oshawa Car Assembly facility (Oshawa, Ontario). For 2000, Chevrolet revived the Chevrolet Impala nameplate for a redesigned W-body sedan, with fleet sales of the Lumina ending after the 2001 model year. Outside of North America (primarily the Middle East and South Africa), the Chevrolet Lumina nameplate was used from 1998 to 2013 on rebranded versions of the Holden Commodore; a Lumina coupe was derived from the Holden Monaro from 2003 to 2006. Chevrolet Philippines marketed the Lumina from 2005 to 2006, using a rebranded version of the SAIC-GM-produced Buick Regal.
