GM has no "medium sized" V8s in production now. They only have one mainstream V6 now too, the 3.6 LLT. There is no need for a "medium sized" V8 when the 3.6 LLT is as powerful if not moreso than other small V8s. A 3.6 equipped car would leave even the Northstar equipped Cadillacs in the dust off the line and in top speed.

In the past, Impalas were available with a v8. In fact, the 2014 marks the beginning of the 10th generation of Impala. In these previous 9 generations, only gen 8 was not available with a v8 at some point during production.
The looks of this car are not bad. I think this car must weigh quite a bit though. With over 300 hp, the car can only muster a 6.8 s 0-60 time.
