January 27, 200818 yr So we have a couple of vehicles over here that are not avalible in the united states. first of, i'll start with the zeta impala, i wish i had pictures to show you, but it looks confused between a current impala (rear looks the same as current gen including tail lights.) and the front doesnt really know whats going on, has the same side profile almost as the g8, and front lights look like bug eyes, not so pleasent. didnt really get a chance to look it over as i was driving by on a bus. the lumina, looks to be on the epsilon, looks kinda similar to the 08 malibu, but it looks like it wasnt given the same refinement as the malibu, although the tail lights might be a good replacement for those who dont appreciate the malibus tail lights. to me, the lumina looks like the 08 malibu, and the hyundai sonata merged, if you could imagine. guess i'm done ranting... but i'm glad the states gets higher quality vehicles then they do here.
January 27, 200818 yr The Lumina is effectively the same as the G8, or its earlier Commodore predecessors (Holden even uses the badging on special value models in Australia).
January 27, 200818 yr I didn't either. I thought they only had the Lumina and the Caprice. Pics please.
January 27, 200818 yr Looking at the Chevrolet Arabia website, I see the Zeta Lumina and Caprice and CR8 (CSV model). The Lumina is the Commodore/G8 equivalent. www.chevroletarabia.com Edited January 27, 200818 yr by moltar
January 27, 200818 yr et voila, one Middle Eastern Chevrolet Caprice, complete with Impala logo (couldn't find anything larger).
January 27, 200818 yr For those who need reminding this is considerably bigger than the Impala, and almost exactly the same size as a Lucerne.
January 27, 200818 yr Caprice = Holden Statesman Lumina = Holden Commodore The Impala logo is an odd addition.
January 27, 200818 yr et voila, one Middle Eastern Chevrolet Caprice, complete with Impala logo (couldn't find anything larger). I'm wondering if that really is an Impala logo, though... it could be a Chevy logo in a swirl, like the Malibu had a couple of generations back... The design of the taillights and decklid of the Caprice is quite similar to the WImpala, though..
January 27, 200818 yr Author et voila, one Middle Eastern Chevrolet Caprice, complete with Impala logo (couldn't find anything larger). yea thats it, like i said i was driving by in a bus... the front looks pretty bad... but the rear looks okay
January 27, 200818 yr I preferred the previous generation Lumina and Caprice from the M.E. for looks for some reason.

Trust me, it's the Impala logo, I've seen it up close when Holden had the Caprice SS at the Sydney auto show. The Malibu logo I remember from a couple generations back was a cresting wave—a Malibu surfing reference.
