FactWhen the coupe duties moved to the revived Monte Carlo, this Lumina generation was sold only as a four-door sedan.
The second-generation North American Lumina was built at Oshawa, Ontario, for the 1995 to 2001 model years as a four-door sedan only, the coupé role passing to the revived Monte Carlo. It rode on the updated W-body shared with the Monte Carlo, Cutlass Supreme and Grand Prix, with front-wheel drive. Engines were the 3.1 litre V6, the 3.4 litre DOHC V6 and, later, the 3.8 litre V6, all with four-speed automatics. Production ended on 26 April 2001, when the Impala replaced it.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 3.1 V6 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

When the coupe duties moved to the revived Monte Carlo, this Lumina generation was sold only as a four-door sedan.
Chevy skipped airbags on the original Lumina and fitted door-mounted 'passive' seatbelts instead — they stayed latched to the door itself, so you could climb in and out without ever unbuckling them.
The Lumina's Getrag five-speed manual was a rare stick in a front-drive GM10 lineup built mostly for automatics.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
