Hey Poskflyer, take it easy. lol. Yea its a nice car, wish they could make it better than a FWD car, you know what I mean, but I know that wont happen as people need a nice reliable affordable car and making it a RWD sports sedan will make it too costly for people to buy. So I agree with you man, let the Impala live on.
I love the Impala name but this is a really cheap car, not saying its crap or anything but my other GMs and Fords are better than this. Sure hope GM gets their act together and put the G8 platform and use it as the next impala. If they do, the impala will live on again instead of being a bargain bin type car or fleet rental car people could care less of.
I just bought a used 2009 LTZ and I love it, but this car needs a redesign...NOW! But it's ok, your costumer base is only moving to Taurus. So I guess GM is OK with loosing customers. Could they at least but the Malibus 6 speed in it? I mean jesus christ GM.
this review is pure opinion, and pure lies. The Camry, and accord are far better in every way than this impala.Camry/Accord are made in America, Impala is not.Camry/Accord have soft touch dash boards, Impala uses the same material as Rubbermaid trash cans. Camry/Accord have three times the short/long term reliability over the Impala. And the Impala uses a column shifter! I MEAN REALLY?? BROUHAHA, CHEVY FAILS
You're an idiot. Have you ever driven a new chevy impala?? NO! I urge you to go drive one their fucking gorgeous and ride like a high end car. My grandpa has one with 50k no probs yet.
@Dustin91 Actually Dustin, I have driven the Impala. In-fact I have driven two, my grandparents have a 2008 Maroon Impala with the center shifter. I have also driven my grandfathers brothers Black Impala with nearly all feature and extra options. Both fail miserably in terms of quality, reliability, resale value. Why am I even explaining this; FACT is the Impala sucks and It is made in Canada. Our Camry was made in America.
Sorry man but your "buy american" slogan is just false. The impala is made in Canada, while imports like the Camry, Accord are made by AMERICAN workers.
And yes, it does have those features, but it's all available on any $15 grand cars! And this looks like shit.
i agree that it is a "high-end car" if you compare it to the Cadillac DTS. Which is basically this car for $20 grand more.
But compared to any car in any price range apart from that cadillac, this car is a piece of junk.
You're false, and your also a fucking idiot. Your gay camry and accord are a piece of japanese shit!!! Why the fuck would you buy that shit? Are you american?
Dont talk shit if youve never drove one, I have drove my grandfathers and the car drives and runs like a dream.
You hillbilly American REDNECK! Why do you think the impala has never won a single comparison test from ANY automotive magazine? The camry and accord have been the best selling sedans in America for over 10-20 years!
And the reliability of those cars is fantastic, compared to those shitty GM cars (I have to say though that some cadillacs, buicks and chevys are nice, but not this one).
The camry, accord, mazda 6, ford fusion are all great cars, but this one is just terrible.
Yeah buddy im such a hillbilly redneck, living in ohio and moms a nurse n father owns his own company. I work a fulltime job and go to school for welding. Shut your mouth fagget jap crap blows my nuts. And exactly your a japanese dude or something so your gonna talk shit.
I can only agree with you about the Malibu. It HAS won many awards, but not the Impala, which is what we're discussing!
We don't have to go into ad hominem attacks here, i'm just stating my opinion that this car is very very bad. You may like it, and that's why i guess general motors keeps on building them!
Don't listen to Dustin hes giving us a bad name...the impala isnt the best car out there and it isnt supposed to be. It is an average but fairly decent midsize for the average buyer. It has its pluses and minuses. You are an idiot for thinking that GM is unreliabe, go read a little yeah? But I have to say that chevy has neglected this car the most, But GM is still the BEST american brand. Ford's cars are ugly and underpowered, and chrysler is just a fail
@Waffleater1 They might be made by American workers, but YOU are supporting Japanese, Korean car company, yes most GM's are made in Canada, which BTW if you went to school you would know that Canada is part of North America, at least GM is an American Automobile company, and as far as reliability goes, both the Impala and Malibu won JD Powers award for initial quality. So who's the REDNECK now? Know your facts.
@Dustin91 I like the Impala but it it's made in Canada. So if your idea of buying American is to support American labor, buying an Impala does not qualify. I would buy a Chevy Malibu, it is actually built in the United States and it is rated as a better car as well.
@J40d Colum Shifter, where do you live, under a rock? The floor shifter has been a standard feature in the Non fleet Impalas since 2006, and the Colum shifter has been the optional feature. Read about what you talk about before you talk about it.
Is the 2009 Impala going to have a better engine? I admit that moving up tp a base hp rating of 211 is better than the 180 in the 3.4 L 2005 model. But 211 in today's world is still pretty low. I have one and she moves great. But if it's not going to have gas mileage like a camry or accord, then it might as well have better performance. Why sacrifice both?
WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
HOW CAN YOU BUY THE IMPALA UNDER 18 THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?!?!
I mean, it says it is about 25 thousand on the website. Let alone a price under 18 thousand dollars is even cheaper then a mid-sized sedan!
