That's what I was thinking. Too Chrysler 300 for me. But give me that Nomad, except for the Malibu-esc grille.

I would expect the next Impala to be essentially a stretched and loaded Malibu. There's no need for another large entry level RWD sedan with the G8 here.

GM is going to try to make a car to suit the less privileged though... the chevy would come with less standard etc. I think the Impala chop looks like a stretched camaro honestly... more like a camaro sedan... i didn't even think of the 300C when i saw it... not too sure if i like the looks of it though. I think the Holden pictured should come to the states as the next impala.

That is what I would do if they made that car look similar to the Camaro.

Make it AWD with a 5 or six-speed automatic, Modify the 3800 series for an AWD drivetrain

I know I've seen that before, but I don't know where. As far as I know, the program is at least on hold, possible trashed. But thats not an official GM rendering anyway, its some guys vision of what the Impala should be. They did a pretty good job on it though
