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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?
