Replying to: charts2 (Jan 09, 2005 11:08 am) I couldnt care less about the styling of previous generations of Impala, personally. I tend to agree with 1487 on that.   ~alpha Replies to this message: dbuzz (Oct 19, 2005 9:08 am)

Don't care for the old Impala so what Chevy has done here looks good for the most part. More modern and sell able to the masses which is what Chevy is all about.

I like the new Impala too! Lots of Improvements over the 00-05..just thought one or two more styling cues would bring along a few more of the generation that the Impala most appeals to 35+...just like the 5300 V8 small block that is celebrating its 50th anniversary that is going into the SS.. Now that is Heritage!and that itself will sell to the nostalgia chevy fans!! a Chevy V8 that has roots right back to 1955....Still haven't figured out where they are going to drill the holes for the front license plate...that will really mess up the front end!

One thing: when Chevy does come out with the next iteration of RWD Impala, there will be alot of pent-up demand for it. Imagine the excitement if that model also sports a well-integrated expression of the 3 per side tail lamp scheme!   Maybe this transitional period of FWD is suited to having a 2 per side (more Bel Air/ Biscayne) look (yet also evoking Corvette: marque's halo model); and the 2006 triangular/wedge taillights are allowing a nod to even earlier Chevy (1955,'56, '57 pre-Impala) rear-lamp styling.   To me this shows that Chevy is current, quick on its feet and able to have fun with styling cues as well as move with the market and trends, not just slavishly beholden to MUST HAVE 3(round) taillights per side dogma. The car is so much more than that!

Replying to: bh628 (Jan 06, 2005 10:24 am) bh628 When I went to the auto show, I had you in mind. I thought you wanted me to check out the new Passat. After reading your post again today, I realized you wanted me to compare the Jetta. Well, I didn't sit in the Jetta because I asked for the Passat. The lady said the Passat is not out till next year. Thus, I didnt' bother comparing the Passat (but now, I realized you wanted me to check out the Jetta). Anyway, it's odd to compare the Jetta to the Impala. Not remotely in the same class.

#96 of 3460 LA Auto Show by hvan Jan 10, 2005 (3:40 pm)
Well guys. I had a chance to see the 2006 Impala SS at the LA Auto Show. Although the vehicle was sitting on the spinning platform, I was not able to walk on the turn table and see the Impala up front and personal. After what I have seen, I am very disappointed. If that's what GM has for a "fully loaded SS", I would hate to see what a strip down version will look like. The interior reminds me of Dodge Stratus that I used to rent while in Boston.   The only two GM vehicles that I like is the new STS and Pontiac Soltice.   Since I have written off the Impala 2006 on my shopping list, I decided perhaps I'll wait till 2006 and get 2005 Impala LS...this time with moonroof. Of course, this is only if Chevy decides to 'blowoff' their inventory with HUGE rebate. I think the 2005 Impala LS is a BIGGER bargain than what we'll see on the 2006. Besides, the 2006 is probably full of "bugs" to iron out. As a current owner a 2000 Impala LS, I know what it's like to have bugs in the first production year. So for next year, if I can get a 2005 Impala LS for $18K, I'll jump all over it.   http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/marketbuy2002/album?.dir=/42a4   Here are the photos. I also have a video clip of the Impala SS.   Enjoy! (in this case, don't gag. hehe).

The best car at the auto show was the new Infiniti M35/M45. Wow, what a great looking interior!!
#98 of 3460 2006 Impala by charts2 Jan 11, 2005 (4:58 am)
Maybe SS badging on the inside doors, or headrests. The seat material on the SS could have been two shades of Gray material to make it look sporty!..Should have been more interior colors offered other then only the two colors Gray & Tan on the LTZ & SS that is currently offer on the 2005's. The wheels on the SS could have been a little more aggressive/sporty looking!....I believe most liked the ignition key on the dash of the current 00-05 Impalas, now its back on the steering column. The front license plate bracket will probably be dealer installed and go on the right front and will really muck up the appearance of the front of the car. They are having the same problem with the Chevy SSR pickup (license)no decent place to put it ...This DOD offers up to 12% fuel savings on the 5.3 V8....that doesn't seem like much once you factor in the cost to build in this feature....I I read the Dodge Hemi- with DOD has up to 20% fuel savings (someone correct me if I am wrong)......I think a lot of little changes on this car could go a long way to major improvements!!! just my opinion
