Not only is the Lumina built in

Canada, Lumina's 3.1 litre V6
engine comes from GM of
Canada's St. Catharines engine
plant.

The choice of proven power-
trains is part of GM’s commitment
to quality for the Chevrolet
Lumina. ‘‘Our goal,”’ according to
Gordon White, plant manager,
Oshawa Car Assembly Plants, ‘tis
the same one that Sam
McLaughli:: had when he started
building cars at the turn of the
century — ‘One Grade Only, and
That the Best.’

“*We are determined to make the
Chevrolet Lumina one of the
highest quality vehicles ever built
by General Motors, anywhere in
the world.”

Towards that goal of building
one of the biggest quality vehicles
anywhere in the world, General
Motors took a clean sheet ap-
proach to all facets of Lumina
design and production. According
to Hugh Holland, GM of
Canada’s director for manufactur-
ing, planning and engineering, the
Lumina differs dramatically from
other North American cars.

We wanted to have a car with a
wide customer appeal. The Lumina
has gone through hundreds of cus-
tomer clinics to identify the
features that customers require in a
mid-size car.

“Traditionally, North American
vehicles were designed to give cus-
tomers a maximum of choice. It
was theoretically possible to build
many billions of combinations of
the same vehicle, each one slightly

different, even without considering
color and trim as combinations.
Obviously, the vast majority of
these combinations were never us-
ed. The impact on both cost and
quality was enormous.

“‘We wanted a car that would be
simpier to build, with a much
higher level of quality. That goal
was achieved by starting with a
substantially higher level of stand-
ard equipment and adding only a
limited number of options avail-
able independently or in groups.

Lumina’s standard equipment
list is impressive —- power rack and
pinion steering, power four-wheel
disc brakes, AM-FM stereo with
digital clock, seek and scan with a
four speaker sound system, inter-
mittent wipers, tinted glass with
rear defroster and a 100 amp gen-
erator.”’

WE'RE NOT IN IT
SIMPLY FOR THE MONEY.

We know of a BMW dealer who asked
owners who brought in a disty car for service to
please go get it washed!

Now that's a bit extreme, but if somebody
turns up with a neglected BMW we can get quietly
distressed.

Because we care. We care about cars. We
care about BMW cars in particular. BMW dealers,
us included, tend to be enthusiasts — not simply
businesspeople and salespeople. in our somewhat
less than humble opinion, a BMW is the king of
automobiles. We treat it as such. And like “our
owners" to do likewise.

In a way, it's a family feeling. And when you
add skill and knowledge to caring and enthusiasm,
you end up with good service. Come in and we
will be rnost happy to show you what we mean.
