2014 Chevrolet Impala First Look - 2012 New York Auto Show - Motor Trend
Based on the same platform as the Buick Lacrosse. 3.6L DI V6 with about 303 HP as the up level optional engine. Base engine 2.5L Ecotec 4 cylinder 195 HP. There's also an Eco model with 2.4L 4 cylinder (182 HP) with electric assist. No word on a performance model other than the 3.6L V6 engine. Guess the upcoming increase in CAFE standards is making it's mark on car companies. Wonder if they'll follow Ford's example and drop a turbo on the 3.6L

It looks smaller inside than the old one. I don't care for the current one, but I would consider buying one (but I don't like the teal interior lighting or the direct-injection engine) as it is heavily discounted cheap space. I wonder if they'll keep the bench seat, though from the looks of the dashboard, probably not.

Not bad looking. I was expecting better but it is a HUGE improvement over the rental queen. The steering wheel doesn't work for me though. For some reason when I look at it from certain angles I keep thinking Honda Crosstour.

As expected, Chevrolet has pulled the wraps off its brand-new 2014 Impala sedan just hours before it makes its world premiere at the New York Auto Show.

The exterior doesn't look too bad, but theyre going overboard with the stitching on the dash. That steering wheel is too bulky too.

I'll just keep my 74! It was free and has 72,000 actual miles. It was my Grandma's car.

Looks great. I just wish it didn't have the same rear quarter character line as the Lacrosse. Probably couldn't be helped budget wise though.

Probably true, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad car.

I wish all the front ends on their new stuff didn't look the same... I feel like I've seen this car half a dozen times already...
