I live in Dubai, and I am getting a 2006 SS which is a 5.7-Liter, V8...

It's a wheel-hopping overpowered FWD piece o crap. Ugly too.

Hi!
Please ignore the ones telling you the Lumina is a FWD (Front Wheel Drive). It is not. Full Rear Wheel Drive with Traction Control (which you can switch of). I drive a 2005 Lumina SS with 26.000 km on the clock and it is absolutely great fun. The car is rock solid on the road and yes, it is a killer. My average consumption is around 13 litres/100km which is with my driving style quite ok for 340 bhp and the size of the car. You also can drive the car "granny-syle" and enjoy the huge interior space etc. It has 2 front and 2 side airbags, depending on your features also leather interior. I love it, I drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee before. The Lumina is a sports car in a limo-body. However don't expect the latest gadgets in it, the car is just updated and completely rebuilt in the 2007 version (which is also awesome and features now a 6.0 litre V8). The SS has Power anytime and it's amazing if you press the pedal down at 200km/h how fast it still accelerates. You have to experiecen the gearshift from 3rd to 4rth (in sports mode) at 180km/h unbelievable :-)
Test drive it first, no harm in that, it is not everyones cup of tea.
Cons of the car:
Insurance (high performance car) expensive
Consumption (CO2 emissions, ahem)
Pros:
Service is very affordable and very good (Al Yousuf).
When I wake up in the morning, I smile, looking forward to my drive to work (which is 40kms) :-) It's so much FUN!!!

yea Here in the Middle the Vauxhaul munaro and the Holden Comodore are known as Lumina SS, and they are Exactly the Same as the Holden and the Vauxhual and in the USA its known as the Potiac GTO and the only Diff between these 4 vehicles is that they have Different Names!.

Lumina SS? They still use that name overseas?
Looks like a Holden Commodore, I think. Yeah, it ought to be a killer.
