looks like any other mid life crisis inducing saloon car out there

Brokinarrow · 04-04-2012, 11:23 AM

Looks pretty similar to me

Front end only that is, the rest of the car IS, imo, an improvement over the Taurus.

to me it's got more flair to it than the Taurus.

*The_Blur* · 04-04-2012, 11:46 AM

It's an amazing improvement! This Impala is going to be a huge hit.

The grille is pretty Camaro inspired...

Have to agree. The car looks good though, inside and out and more upscale than i would expect from chevy, but that front end is a very close copy of the Taurus. Anyone who can't see that is blind or just staring at the bow tie too long.

How? It's just two horizontal bars... It doesn't really look anything like the camaro grille. You will see it though if you look hard enough.

More the overall shape...I see the heritage grille in some respects.

idk the car just looks like it was designed by chrysler, although the interior minus the steering wheel is very nice.

You are right, kinda like the 13 taurus front, a mix between the 98 Intrepid an 11 Sonata in side profile and Intrepid rear window slope and short deck, lacrosse rear hips, 11 Sonata rear end. It works though.

IMVHO the front-end styling looks like the Honda civic and Ford Taurus had a baby. I like it but the steering wheel is absolutely terrible.

Super Nice.... I like...

monstertodd · 04-04-2012, 01:18 PM

Yep, that is beautiful. Nice work GM!

Is that car painted in Blue Ray Metallic?

I think this is the best redesign they have done since the 5th Gen Camaro.
