I think the new Equinox is great looking and would buy one for the wife in a heartbeat. The Impala is slightly dated but is a solid car. My grandma (lol?) has a 2009 Impala and loves it. I don't think you could go wrong with either, just depends on your needs.

The Equinox is really comfortable, but I am use to what your Granny drives or that style. My Buick is having numerous of issues and I have been looking around. Before Buicks, I had Chevrolets. Can SUV tumble over~? I might drive like your Granny since I don't drive fast or on highways but can they still tumble over~?

Check out the new Dodge Charger, starts at $25k and has 292HP in the V6. It's RWD, which some people don't like if they drive in a lot of snow. Better styling than the Impala, IMO.

I also like the Equinox, gets good gas mileage. Get whatever you like, don't base your decision from a bunch of biased pricks on the Internet =)

Your funny I don't base anything on what I post. I post mostly dog issues I have, but on another forum. I do post some dog issues on this forum too. Anyways, that Dodge Charger looks bigger than my Buick when I saw it at the car show this weekend. I don't think I can drive a large car. I still haven't test drove the Equinox or Impala....then again, this car is sentimental and I hate to get rid of it too

Well then it sounds like the Impala is for you. Great car, most people just seem to think it's a granny mobile or rental. Nothing wrong with the Impala at all, you might want to check out the Malibu as well.

Id recommend the new Chevy SUV if its in your price range, the Traverse got great ratings and looks great, however its larger then the equinox.

The Impala is not a great car. It is an OK car. Not awful.

So far from best in class that I think it is waste of money. A better mainstream choice is a Ford Fusion or a Ford Taurus if you want a domestic brand.

Yeah, if your spending Taurus money skip it and get a Buick. Unless you can find a dealer with the base model Taurus for $25,000 (hahaha).

I'd definitely take the Impala over a Fusion, the Malibu is a better comparison to the fusion as far as size goes.

Better yet, wait until next year and look at the Impala SS.
