Chevrolet
International
The Lumina is sold in other countries besides the U.S.
In many cases, changes are made in the vehicle’s
specifications to meet the unique demands of those
markets and/or comply with local regulations.
Additionally, these products sometimes fill a very
different role in non-U.S. markets. If you need to
know what the differences are, in specifications or
marketing strategies, in any given country, please
look in the Chevrolet International section of this
publication to identify the right GM person to contact
for that kind of information. Chevrolet Communications
(U.S.) does not have those details.
