There isn't a market for an Impala wagon now, but if GM grew a pair they could import a rebadged Holden Adventra and create a market for it.

Holy momma! I see the 6.2 V8 (LS9) will generate 650 hp:

I doubt if Gm will put a 650 horsepower engine in their "09 Impalas.....not street legal....and if they do go with something like 375-400..will they make it a boat like the 94-96's?...............400 horses does no good if your pulling around a 4500 lb boat!!!

The SS Impala will have between 400-425 hp according to Motor Trend, which should give it Dodge Charger SRT-8/Chrysler 300C like acceleration numbers.
 
What's up wih this not being street legal. The 1001 hp Bugatti Veyron isn't street legal ?

I don't think a comparison between a chevy and Bugatti would be accurate.....and do you think a 650+ horsepower engine would sell on a family car (Impala) especially with gas prices where they are! The new Impala is going to be equal to a Bugatti?....in price?.................don't think so...I wonder how many million dollar Bugatti's are on the road?

No but a 400-425 hp Impala, will sell quite well.

I hope a smaller engine is standard on all trim levels (save SS). I want a big car tuned to fuel efficiency. How about a V-6 with 260 horses and cylinder de-activation? If it was 3 to 4 mpg more efficient than a 300 hp engine, I'd prefer it. Save the 400 hp for the SS!

You aren't going to see MID on a V6 it wouldn't be very balanced.
 
It would be cool to have a RWD impala size car though.
