i agree, or go back to a design that was similar to the '95/96 model that blew the doors off other large sedans... That was one of my favorite cars ever made.

the 94-96 ss impalas were always a dream car of mine growin up.
and my grandpa was going to wait on the RWD impala to come out but the dealers said something of a 2012 re-design so he bought an 08 ltz instead cause he didn't want to wait all that time.

That interior looks way to much like Dodges Chally / Charger dash.. and or mustang. Barf.

It needs to look like a Chevy not a Ford or a Dodge.

Yea! For a sweet redesign of the 94-96 Impy's! I love my Caprice to death (91) but its age is really starting to show... time for a new age Caprice/Impala!

And i wouldn't shed a tear at the G8 rebadged as an Impala, i think the G8 really needs to live on in NA!

That rendering makes me sick...not a single fluent design cue. Looks like the second coming of the Aztec.....


As for the Impala's blandness....I've heard it said more than once that the plain-ness about the car is one of its best traits. Those same people considered the Malibu flashy, and the Camry bulbous and weird.

Not that I agree...the car could definitely use a facelift right about now...

Yes, the Imp needs a redesign soon. I liked the previous gen, had some old Impala design cues...but the current car just kinda blends into the sea of blandness that is most sedans out on the road today. I hope GM freshens it up and includes some Impala cues from the past.

its a sedan...how excited can people get over a sedan...that being said that design brings out more of a reaction than that bland camr...err i mean impala we have now

i'm just tired of the oval shapes for the last decade and a half...we need more masculine sedans

Yeah wish they had kept more to going back to the way they looked 96model then Chevy had to go and screw the pooch! I always wanted a black 96 impalla! Just hope when chevy does redesign if it's not got a big engine in it then LEAVE the SS emblems off it! Cause they are throwing the SS emblems on everything. It just seems to take away from the Super Sport name. Of course that's my opinion and opinions are like Azzholes everybody has one. But my azz is a SS!!
