Default New Impala

I can't get the freaking picture off the E-mail, bastages at GM. It's pretty cool looking though. I can foward the e-mail to someone if they know how to get it saved. Won't give properties?

Dear Robert56,

Since you're a valued Chevy owner, we're excited to share with you the very latest news from Chevy: the popular Impala is back! And with more than 1,000 refinements, it's better than ever.

The performance-oriented Impala SS sports the latest version of the legendary small-block V8, allowing the new Impala to cruise from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. And with Displacement on Demand (DOD) technology, the new Impala SS has increased fuel economy, getting up to an estimated 28 MPG highway.¹

I think it's pretty cool what they are doing with the SS lineup. But have you seen the commercial on TV? The guy says "Im-pal-a" instead of "Im-pawl-a" and just sounds weird to me.

At least they are going back to the roots of the SS line. Let's see if they actually go all out like the moniker was supposed to be, not just a badge to throw on a car to make it look cooler (Monte Carlo SS with no power).

I'd have to disagree with you.........they are slapping the SS logo on everything nowadays. IMO, because they are slapping it on everything, they got it on the new Impala.

303fwhp.. ..that's pretty impressive........for a front wheel drive vehicle. Still think it looks plain.........like an accord/camry/etc. It don't stick out and grab your attention like the Firebird or Corvette........You know what I mean? When you see a clean Firebird WS6 with that huge ram air hood and some nice wheels...........you look at it like "holy **** that's mean"......well at least I do.

You know if it wasn't FWD I'd consider it for the wife. nothing is wrong with the looks imho and plenty of power at the 28K price tag.

I'm kinda hoping the trailblazer SS takes a hit in price quick. That thing TRUELY is an SS 6.0 AWD in black would be a nice truck.
