Hybrid Impala? by nosirrahg

What do you think the chances of GM offering a hybrid powertrain on the upcoming RWD Impala? I'm guessing none, since they'll have the hybrid Malibu out at that point, but I'd sure like to have the room/seating & style a big Impala would provide (I assume the Malibu won't offer a bench seat), but still be able to afford to drive it!

You aren't going to see MID on a V6 it wouldn't be very balanced.
 
By MID are you talking about cylinder deactivation? If so, you should do your research. The current 3.9L in the '07 Impala has cylinder deactivation...runs on 3 cyl under light load. So far, the only complaint has been a bug that has caused an electrical "flicker" noticed at night but no power/balance issues.

Interesting, all the previous reading I did said the V6 would be too out of balance. I guess they got around it somehow.

I would have thought so too. As I understand it, the deactivated cylinders are all on the same side as well. Oh...that bug I mentioned only affects a few out there. Haven't heard much more about it...they may have squashed it.

Me? Nope not a chevy guy. I'm a Nissan and Subaru guy actually. I host the Motorsports forum actually!
 
I was thinking of getting a GTO last year but couldn't pull the trigger on it.
 
I do like RWD or AWD cars so an in-expensive RWD Impala could pique my interest.

Nice. I almost bought a GTO, but couldn't pull the trigger on it. Been burnt on american cars too much and living in the northeast want some AWD goodness.
