The inside looks a ton better, possible Charger competitor if it looks cool enough and has good engine options?

Possible AWD option?

Kyle2k · 12-14-2011, 08:14 PM

Interior looks good so far :O

TheCaptain · 12-14-2011, 08:35 PM

The dash/HVAC sure looks sweet! And the only thing i can tell about the outside is that it has cool LaCrosse like exhaust tips!

They would be smart to have numbers close to the charger and AWD. Make the Impala a MAN'S car again. Not a stupid family boring sedan. The Charger is popular cuz it looks cool and men are willing to drive it. Women have more choices than men because many modern cars look too girly or bubbly.

Make the impala cool again!!

Just based on the shape, it won't be RWD configuration.

It's Epsilon II. Cadillac XTS platform.

DaBears · 12-14-2011, 09:43 PM

FWD is ok, as long as there is an AWD option. Hell, id even say that FWD is ok if the car looks cool enough and has good engine options. Otherwise its just a new version of a boring car using the wrong name, just like the past 10 years of Impala

FenwickHockey65 · 12-14-2011, 10:10 PM

Also, pray that I'm wrong, but the next-gen Impala is supposed to be a 2014 model.

I think I could settle for this too, but I really which it was still RWD.

it could be a late 2013 as a 2014 model? i dunno

The more i look at the camo headlights the more they scare me. This car might be too "bubbly" but we will see.

FenwickHockey65 · 12-15-2011, 10:28 AM

It's an IVER. It doesn't have production headlights or taillights.
