Umm, not likely, as the 2009 "Lumina V8 G4" (which the name died about ten years ago in North America) looks like the South African version of the Holden Commodore SS, aka the Pontiac G8 in North America. Not many of those have sold over here, and even if more had, the engine/drivetrain transplant would require a total re-frame/major metal removal in order to fit in the engine bay of a Manta A
