Quick look: 2.5, 2.4 eAssist, and 3.6 available all new chassis and all new safety features. This is the new face of Chevrolet

Good, the current Impala is so damn boring looking. The new design looks good....I like the interior.

[EODMonkey]

ooooo thats one hell of a sexy interior. almost bmw looking

[Blackbirdws6]

Huge improvement. Rear fender seems scaled awkwardly when compared to the front and the steering wheel is a little odd. Just nitpicking but the rest looks great, especially the interior.

[LS1ow]

im digging the front of it... also the fact that they didnt use "Camaro Ispired" Tail lights is great.


not a fan of the audi a7 style rear slant back its got going on

LOL. I was just going to say it reminds me of an A7.

I think it's a massive step forward. Very good work out of GM.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Looks very elegant, especially with the integrated exhaust and interior.

[NJ346]

I really like it. Any chance we see a turbo charged 6 cylinder available as an SS after launch?

[KevinW]

I like it too! too bad I will not be able to afford it anytime soon :( Just gonna keep my 2004 Impala running until the wheels fall off :)

I saw one of these last month at Country Chevy...blew me away on a 2013 coming out soo early. I like it...more new age instead of the rental car look gm is sooo known for (think cobalt 4door and old impala). Gm seems to be putting a lot of thought in interior fit and finish now...esp as evidenced by the new malibu and even my wife's equinox w/the mood/soft lighting and all.

[NJ Torque]

Looks like the new M...

[8hnpSS]

they stole that steering wheel from the s550 lol. looks good tho definitely a change from the old

What Mike said, you didn't see the Impala at any dealer. There are maybe a dozen in existence, they are all hand-built, and the only two that exist outside of Milford Proving Grounds are the two that they showed today.

[Tru2Chevy]

Really love the new front end! Looks like a really nice design overall, huge improvement.

[1320B4U]

Maybe...looking at the new 'bu it has a similiar roofline but a 2013 in early march..little too early for the next year.

[Iroc-z86]

its about time chevy is stepping it up. Very nice car. should put a nice dent in the competition.

[sweetbmxrider]

Definitely a real nice car and the interior materials are great!

[Savage_Messiah]

Too squinty on the front end, steering wheel looks goofy. Am I the only one not enamored by this?

[WiMiMc]

I love it, ballpark price?

also since its on the same platform as the XTS which has AWD, would a turbo/twin turbo or supercharged 3.6 AWD Impala SS be possible?

[BullittSVT]

She looks good, wouldn't kick her out of bed.

[NastyEllEssWon]

meh looks like everything thing else out there on the road. good job gm for doing what everyone else is doing but 3 years late.

[Blacdout96]

So....Hyundai is even rubbing off of GM now?

[DaSkinnyGuy]

A whole new path besides the bowtie nothing on it looks like a gm product.

well no but everything else on it looks like a product from almost every other manufacturer out there.

I assume it will start in the high 20s. No LF3 (tt3.0) for Impala as well as no awd.

It's very different in person. You can pick out s little Infiniti M in the rear quarters and Sonata in the tail, but the rest is unique.

IMO thats a dumb move for GM. At least have the option for it and a V8, the charger has too much of that pie piece. I may be wrong but i thought i heard something about the taurus being awd at some point?

well the SHO is already awd, so i dont see why they cant work out an awd n/a model in between the se (are they still called that) and the sho

The fusion is also awd.

BUT

The transfer cases are not great.

There will be a limited run of RWD Chevy sedans starting next model year. Impala is NOT that car. Chevrolet has already announced that they will launch an all new car for NASCAR that will also be in production. This would be the return of the "G8".

Ford is the only company that offers AWD option for its midsized and full sized sedans.

Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and VW do not offer AWD for any of their sedans. Remember that Impala is the full-sized leader.

The Impala lacking AWD has sparked controversy, but in the end, it will not be that big of a deal. No one has had any problem before today.

If you look at the sales numbers right now, Impala trounces the LX twins. You could argue that fleet sales make up the numbers, but realize that the LX cars fleet percentage is still high. When you factor in how many AWD models they sell, it is very little.

With that said, the platform can take it and it is beyond me why they won't offer it. If I had to guess, it was to simplify aka lower cost of production so they could up the luxury and features game. I also suspect that the powers to be at Buick had something to say about it, since Impala and LaX will be sharing similar market space.

Infiniti does as well.

[BigAls87Z28]

Infiniti is a luxury car company. Impala sells more units a year than Infiniti does as an entire company.

That or dare they bring up the Monte Carlo name again?

[BigAls87Z28]

Put the name Monte Carlo on a 4 door sedan? No.

[LS1ow]

id love to see a new nameplate
