The Impala is assembled at GM's Oshawa, Ontario, Canada plant, recently cited as the highest-quality facility in North and South America for the third time in four years by J. D. Power. It's also the most efficient North American plant according to the 2005 Harbour Report. Chevy pointedly adds that the 2005 Impala beat Accord, Altima, Five Hundred and 300, and topped Camry for the fifth straight year, in Power's 2005 IQS ratings.

Still FWD... ugh.

At least they're moving the right direction with the SS version. It's supposted to be powered with a V8, not the usual supercharged v6.

Eh'

IMO only Chevy's worthy of being talked about are the Camaros, Corvettes, and Tahoes.

A 5.3L V8, wtf is that like a 314 cubic inch. Some new lame chevy motor. Im surprized they can fit a V8 into there. Hopefully its RWD in the SS model, ofcourse it'll be lame FWD

Its almsot 2 tons, thats things gone be such a turd. Atleast get 250+hp for that thing. Not even worthy of SS badges

I don't like it.

Wasn't the Chevy Impala an iconic name, not up to scratch with american cars but wasn't the old 1960's or 70's models cool classics, I mean that 2006 model pictured isn't really desirable, looks like its been made by a korean manufacturer like Kia.
