It's a weird, distinct look. I'm not sure I like it, but I'll almost always applaud someone who takes a chance. On the inside, the new Impala is roomy and comfortable. The front seats are large with good support. In back, there's plenty of room for three adults.
Instrumentation is simple and gauges are skillfully placed.
And I don't like the dual climate controls, which look cheap to my eye. What I do like is the choice of engines. In terms of refinement and sophistication, the new Impala shows real progress from the sometimes slow-moving General Motors. Don't be confused, however. This remains an American car.
