A new classic perhaps?

I absolutely love "vintage" cars of all types, but I can't help "falling for" certain new cars as they come around. My latest craving is for the new Chevrolet Impala, which I believe will ultimately become as "classic" a car in the future as our dear old faves from the '50s & '60s & whatever other decade tickles one's fancy.

Beautiful interior. GM certainly got the design right.

I've been in a few of these; beautiful cars. Enormous trunk space!

I'm afraid I find it a little boring and indistinctive! But I'm sure that's just me!

What's amazing is...

the trunk capacity for the Impala is 18.8 cu/ft, where my old 1971 Chrysler was 21.2 cu/ft. Not much difference really...

Not only is it nice looking that Chevy is at the top for ratings and competes with cars selling for thousands of more dollars for fit, finish, handling and comfort. That Chev can compete with any Japanese or European car in its class and a even few notches above. GM is really upping their game with also Corvette and Cadillac......Go GM!

GM is definitely uping their game. I just wish GM and Ford would convert some of these models back to rear wheel drive. Then we can talk some serious driving.

PIC: Chevy has one, the SS. Cadillac is getting there. Buick may be going in that direction too.

The Buick Aevnir concept, introduced in Detroit, a few days ago, is a RWD concept.

These are RWD! So are the Pony Editions from Ford, Chevy & Dodge + Charger & 300.

Not a lot of RWD but we are getting there maybe. I also left out that RWD Corvette & Viper, sorry.
