Buyers who approach the Lumina with an eye toward replacing their traditional large American sedan with something smaller, more fuel efficient and easier to thread through city traffic will be delighted with the new midsize Chevrolet. Though its design, inside and out, is a step away from what these buyers are used to, they will find that the Lumina handles, rides and performs in a familiar fashion. And they will be impressed with its fit-and-finish. Others, who might be thinking of the Lumina as an alternative to the Accord, Camry, Taurus or LH cars, may not be so easily convinced. Each of these makes can top the Lumina in one or more categories. Each has, at the moment, a track record of a couple of years or longer during which production-line bugs have been able to be worked out. And each has better brakes. But the Lumina certainly is a contender right now, and we think this vehicle is worth adding to your midsize shopping list. |
