Chevrolet Impala 2006

2008 LTZ

Written by: vanman1 on Oct 14, 2007 07:11 PM

I am looking at a Chevy Impala LTZ as a possible next car. How do people like their LTZ's specifically and what kind of real world mileage are you getting on 2007s or 2008s with the active fuel system. Thx! Read More...

2009 Chevy Impala RWD

Yeah you do have a point here, but only thing is that the 2008 malibu has grown in size to that of almost the current impala. For GM to have three sedans such as the malibu, impala and caprice would not be smart. GM was in serious financial difficulty and still is to some extend because it had too many models that did the same job as the next for example, Buick in 2005 had ... Read More...

I agree with this to a point but you also must remember that if GM refreshens a car to quickly it won't last long enough and they won't see profits come from it as they could. Every five to six years is good for one style seven at the max with minor refreshening in between. Look at the chevy lumina 1995-2001 chevy impala 2000-2005 and now 2006-2009 or 10 for the current ... Read More...

2008 Taurus

Written by: scottl on Aug 01, 2007 04:58 PM

I posted a view of the 2008 Taurus on the Taurus forums, but I'm going to put it here, too. Personally, I think the lack of Hyundai dealerships in the hinterlands is going to nix that choice for a lot of people. Ford dealers are everywhere. I was pretty impressed by the new TaurusHundred. I just returned from a 2500 mile 'test drive' (Avis rental) of a 2008 Taurus SEL. ... Read More...

Ok, if you go on the Chevy website and read on the 2008 Malibu... Side Curtain Airbags are STANDARD so when the Impala is released Chevy is putting Side Curtain Airbags in that standard also; which neither the Dodge nor Ford corporations offer. GM will be the first American auto company to offer Side Curtain Airbags standard on all vehicles by 2010... cool huh Read More...

I am not the person you responded to, but just wanted to add some comments. I agree with you that RWD can work just as well in the snow as FWD. I drove my '99 Camaro in some pretty heavy unplowed snow and had no issues. It is all about HOW you drive, not necessarily what you are driving. RWD with good all-season or winter tires and driven sensibly will be just as good as FWD ... Read More...

The 2008 Impala is already posted on Chevy's website and it is the same as the 06-07 except for some changes to the trimlines and options and prices. I can't imagine Chevy would do a 2008 run and then make changes within 6 months. It can take longer than that to retool the plant for such changes, and the current Impala is selling very well for Chevy. I recall reading ... Read More...

2000 Chevy Impala still going strong

Written by: evolutionman on Jun 10, 2007 10:14 AM

My wife's 2000 Chevy Impala (V6 eng) has rolled over 135K miles in 7 years and is still going strong. Except for brakes, struts, tires, and the usual wear on it, the original paint is intact w/o blemishes. The car still flies down the road, has a great suspension, and performs well in all things we demand of it. The seals on some of the engine parts are showing small ... Read More...

Were now at the end of the current model year production and offers will come up to clear out the 07s as after every car year when the next year model goes into production. 2008 Impalas can be ordered now. There is a guy on ebay selling the 2008 Chevrolet Impala brochure (50th anniversary) of the Impala. Read More...

The 2006 Impala was a big improvement over the previous 00-05 models. Chevrolet has come a long way in reliability in the past few years, and service department personnel dealing with customer complaints are improving. but the competition isn't sitting still either. Improvements have to be made on a continual basis. The 5 year powertrain warranty now in effect ... Read More...
