Nope. The RWD V8 Chevy SS sold less than 1/10th of the FWD Impala. The Charger does sell more.. about double... but for all of its muscle car pretensions it’s heavier, less comfortable, more expensive, and slower than the Impala in V6 trim while V8s represent a handful of sales as most interested in pure performance will go for the Challenger, Camaro, Mustang, or a European sports sedan.

I stopped in at the dealership today for some free burgers and sodas at their Memorial Day sale. I got my first look at the new Impala and I am really truly impressed with it. It is so much better than the boring old one. I got inside a LT and checked it out. The inside is also a vast improvement over the previous one. I am not a Chevy guy but I am really impressed with what they have done to the Impala. Might add it to my list of new car possibilities.

I totally agree. I've had my fill of imports. I was once told by a Mercedes dealer that the part that I needed wasn't even a part that was on an American car. I told him that I such a honor to have a European problem. I said " You know my family had European problems. That's why we live here now!" Second Chrysler now and couldn't be more satisfied. I haven't needed to replace as much as a light bulb in 8 years now and it doesn't cost me $500.00 for an oil change or $1800.00 for a tune-up.

UPDATED JANUARY 2023: My IMPALA is now 6 years old. Only Oil Changes and Tire Rotations. It just turned 21K yesterday. No trouble so far and living in the North East the car is outside year round. Looks inside and outside like the day I bought it still. I owe a few thousand (thanks to Covid 19 extending payments for 6 months) I just found out a feature I didn’t know the car had this morning by using VOICE control to call out Music Stations, Without my Android plugged in. I bought the Red Tint coat Option paint in LT Trim with the PANO roof and a few other options the sticker was over $36K I paid $25K July of 2017. Don’t think you can’t haggle more then just a few thousand. Made me kind of upset the day after I bought mine they brought out the one I really would of wanted the sporty model in Black with the upgraded appearance package and a few other options for $2K more.

I was pronouncing your name my way. So? And thanks for the compliment. It speaks highly of your worth.

The Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Camaro, Impala and Corvette are all excellent. The trucks go without saying... the best trucks. Chevrolet calls it "im PAL uh", not "im PAWL uh". Maybe we should listen to them.

I travel a lot with my work. We rent cars from Enterprise as we have a national account. I am always very happy when I get to drive the Malibu's as they are very well done cars. The 2.5 litre engine has ample power, and they are truly a joy to drive. I can only hope Chevy has put as much fun into this car as they have the Boo. I watched as these guys produced the biggest pieces of shit known to man backin the late 70's and most of the 80's. They have finally gotten their act together.

The padding is poor/thin, and very cheap feeling. Headroom for tall people is compromised as well due to the very low roof line....check all your options before making a purchase.

I'm just a fan of how they did the 96 impala SS. They took a big family sedan and made it a powerful rwd, corvette driven, car. Don't get me wrong I love the LS3 engine from recent years under the hood but I want my Impala to bark and get sideways down the road. Yeah its more efficient but I think GM need to provide more Muscle for our money. As a matter of fact the new 2014 SS rwd car, I love the drive train but would much have rather seen that under this impala body.
