Having driven the Lumina SS and CSV, I'll be honest with you, it handles like a tank. Why would you want it to be brought to the US? It's a family sedan that evolved into a wanna-be muscle car. Just sit in the back seat and you'll see what I mean. To get it to handle anything like a sports car, you need to do some serious work to the suspension. And the gearbox....needs help.

Wouldn't it make more sense in the current GM like up to bring back the Solstice rather then have 2 large muscle cars? One muscle and one small coupe wouldn't be cannibalizing sales from one another while at the same time giving consumers sporty options. If they start bringing back multiple large heavy V8 options, they would be making the same old mistakes, imo.
