Chevrolet Impala - Overview

The Impala name has been used on Chevrolet cars since 1956, and has been used on everything from family sedans to muscle cars. The current Impala was Chevy's best-selling car in 2006 and 2007, but with average fuel economy for a large car, it is doubtful that the Impala can repeat that feat in 2008. The Chevrolet Impala is Chevy's largest car, a front-wheel drive sedan. Manufactured in Canada, the Impala was last redesigned in 2006. It is regarded as a fairly lackluster performer in its segment, often relegated to fleet sales. Chevrolet plans to revive the Impala with a complete redesign for the 2010 model year, after which it may be a rear-wheel drive vehicle sharing parts with the performance-oriented Pontiac V8.

The Impala is available in five trim levels, with three engine options. Even with its largest engine, a 5.3-liter small-block V8, the Impala doesn't offer class-competitive power. What it does offer is a spacious interior, even when compared to other large cars. The Impala boasts the last front bench seat for sale in a sedan in the United States, meaning that it can seat up to six people.
