Holden has used the 'Lumina' moniker for limited edition Commodores over the years.
Typically the sort of thing where they throw in a few accessories at no extra cost, bolt on a couple of 'Lumina' badges and hope to shift a few more units than usual.

@ DodgeDriver:
That's an E49 CHRYSLER Charger, thank you very much!
(And it would be near the top of my list, too.)

My Nokia Navigator has 'proper' GPS built into it, and works just fine as a phone.
And Bluetooth means I get voice-prompted navigation through my Scala Rider helmet-mounted headset when I'm riding my motorcycle.

@TexanIdiot25:
The tail-lights look Cougar-ish, I must say.
There's nothing wrong with the current Mustang styling; I hope they aren't trying to fix something that isn't broken.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was 'Hot Wheels', and it looks like I'm not alone.
It's still a damn hot concept, though.

Like you, I've always preferred the styling of the Turbo Concept to that of the M1.

I see some Alfa Romeo Brera around the midsection, a little Ferrari 599 at the front, a Volvo grille...

These were first sold here in Oz in the 1970s, IIRC.

The interior's dull, but the exterior looks great.

So 115,000 pounds buys you 1000hp per tonne.
Impressive, but a stock standard litre sportsbike is pretty close to that and costs a helluva lot less.

Not bad, although not quite as sweet as the concept for some reason.
And that Mazda2 green colour doesn't really suit it.

Much as it pains me to be agreeable, I agree!
I've seen this car at Beaulieu, and it's definitely JFG material.
And we need more wheel-driven LSR cars.
