Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

 

Reviewers find that the Impala looks bland -- not in a bad way, but not in a good way either.

  • "Its styling is inoffensive to the point of being nonexistent." -- Car and Driver
  • "Head-turning quotient: A motorized version of the American flag. People see it, like it and respect it. Some respond to it with patriotic warmth. But no one drools." -- Washington Post
  • "It's nearly the same width as the Avalon, but narrower than the Taurus and 300. As for height, it is taller than the 300 and Avalon but almost 3 inches lower than the Taurus. SS sedans have a distinct look up front, led by a dual-split grille that contains a black-diamond crosshatch pattern. Corvette-inspired bright exhaust outlets are installed on SS models." -- Cars.com
