Chevrolet Lumina APV


The 1990-1993 version of the Chevrolet Lumina APV looks like a DustBuster on wheels. This is the reason the minivan has such a terrible reputation, because of truly substandard design. Did anyone even try to make this van look good?

Of course, they did try...eventually, the wedge front end would be replaced by a frond end that looked more like a vehicle and less like a vacuum cleaner. It didn't really help, though, as the van only lasted until 1996, after which it was replaced by the Venture. I own a Venture, so there will be no making fun of it here.

the old dustbuster look was way ahead of its time when it first came out and was very popular, its what started to turn people into mini's. the transport was the FIRST to have a power slider door that all others copy now. and are way more fun to drive than your cross breed car/truck van. you need to shut your mouth and do your research before talking. looks are different from person to person, but i think the old dustbuster look is still way better than the new junk out today. now all the mini's look exactly the same no style what so ever. at least these done something different. i love mine and would not trade it to any ugly van made today.

It may have been good to drive, but it's undeniable that it's one of the worst styled Chevies ever. Vans made today are masterpieces in comparison to this horrific stylistic disaster.
