Chevrolet Lumina (1990–4)

Chevrolet Lumina (W-body). 1990–4 (prod. 901,245). 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé. F/F, 2190, 2474 cm³ (4 cyl. OHV), 3135 cm³ (V6 OHV), 3352 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Chevrolet’s answer to Ford Taurus Mk I, but more conventional and boxy. No wagon, though Lumina range included a minivan dubbed APV (q.v.). Priced well and represented good value. Quite roomy, and Euro and Z-34 models had good handling. Ride and steering below average, and the engines were forgettable other than the 3·4 V6.
