Lmao. That's so you!

Just sent... don't want to offend anyone.

Seriously, love at first sight. My jaw dropped the night it was unveiled and stayed like that for a while.

I'll take a '96 Impala SS over anything.

I don't know much about it, is it the G8 re-trimmed or something else? I always hoped the G8 would come back as an Impala.

It's on the same EpII platform as the Cadillac XTS. 2.4L eAssist, 2.5L, and LFX powertrains for now.

VF Commodore is coming soon...

Talk about an ugly steering wheel! Yikes! The rest of the car is pretty nice! Will the ABL actually see production or is this another bait and switch? Will the infotainment screen really go up for a place to hide your dope? Is the 2.4 and 2.5L varients 4 cylinders... I4 in that tank? Oh lord. Hope you aren't in a hurry.

FenwickHockey65 · 04-25-2012, 07:13 AM

The 2.4L eAssist is the same powertrain as the LaCrosse and it works just fine in that application. The 2.5L will probably generate around 200 HP.

I feel like Chevy is really killing the Impala. The Impala used to be a car people wanted, not the case nowadays. Also this thing will be slow as crap. Not a fan of the interior.

FenwickHockey65 · 04-25-2012, 07:27 AM

...

It's a FWD full size family sedan. It's not a rip-your-face-off CTS-V or Corvette.

It's not SUPPOSED to be fast. The LFX will move the car just fine for those who want more power. Look at the rest of the segment, Taurus, Avalon, Maxima...none of those are exactly performance-minded with the exception of the Taurus SHO, which is, by all intents and purposes, a niche product.

If you want fast then you're going to want to wait for the Commodore.

And regarding 4-cylinders, you're going to have fun with the 6th gen...

ChriSS84 · 04-25-2012, 08:11 AM

I won't owe a 6th gen. I guess I always hoped for a return of the 94-96 Impala SS. I understand it's a family sedan and not suppose to be "fast".

Off topic here guys but had my windows tinted by "tint guy" in farfield. He did a great job and at a great price. Just wanted to throw the shout out. $160 to be exact. Great guy as well!

That entire car is hideous... except the interior. I kinda like that. Uglier than a sonata, and more expensive I presume too! haha... Who wants to bet 5 bucks that its failure in the making?

Are you looking at the same car I am? I'm not sure if your being serious or funny, but if your serious, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder! and if your being funny, you had me believing you were serious when you first posted! lol...
