The North American Chevrolet Lumina was based on the mid-size GM W platform, which was shared with the Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Oldsmobile Intrigue, Buick Regal and Buick Century (after 1996). Although the Lumina became a popular seller, GM was widely criticized in the motoring press for being late to the game in introducing a direct aero-designed competitor to the Ford Taurus. A model that was rare to find in this generation of the Lumina was the Lumina 3.4 Sedan. While coupes attained a 215 hp rating the 3.4 Sedan made do with a 200 hp version.

The Lumina received a major redesign for 1995, and the Monte Carlo name was resurrected for the 2-door version previously sold as the Lumina coupe. The Euro model was dropped, replaced by LS trim. The LHO V6 was dropped in favor of the L82 V6 also known as the 3100 SFI. This Lumina was also sold with police and taxi packages after the Chevrolet Caprice was dropped during the 1996 model year. An up-level (sporty) LTZ trim was introduced in 1997 to soften the blow from the discontinued Caprice/Impala SS. It featured sporty alloy wheels (similar in style to the Impala SS's), the 3.4 L V6, a tachometer, and a floor-mounted shifter for the automatic. The 3.4 was replaced by the 3800 Series II in 1998. Also in 1998, the Lumina received second generation air bags. The front wheel drive Chevrolet Impala was introduced as a replacement for the Lumina in 2000, although GM did produce 2001 model year Luminas to be exclusively sold for rental fleets. Production of the Lumina continued for the Phillippines. US production ended on April 26, 2001.

Chevrolet Lumina - Wikicars (969 words)
Chevrolet introduced the all-new Lumina in 1990 as a replacement for the outgoing Celebrity.
The Lumina was the last of GM's new front-wheel-drive W-body designs to debut, as its corporate mates the Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Grand Prix, debuted two years earlier in 1988.
Since the Luminas were on their way out, they were left largely unchanged, and for 2001, they were available only to police, taxi and rental car fleets and not sold to the general public.
