If mid-size sedans sold on looks alone, conservatively styled favorites like Honda'sAccord, Toyota's Camry and Ford's last-generation Taurus probably wouldn't have made
it into so many driveways. All three compete with the Chevrolet Lumina in the largest,
highest-volume hunk of the U.S. car market. It's a place where success is measured
less on animal attraction than it is on the inner virtues of space and comfort at an
attractive price. And in that sense, Chevy's Lumina rates as one of the most
successful midsize sedans of all.
Consider these specs: At just $16,895 (including a standard $540 destination charge)
to start, the front-drive Lumina comes with over 100 cu. ft. of passenger space, a
beefy V6 and a 4-speed automatic. That's about $100 less than a smaller 4-cylinder
